My favorite 737-ism is starting down in VNAV path. You program the winds, altimeter setting, ISA deviation from standard - basically you fine tune everything you possibly can. Surely it will smoothly nail every altitude.
You are looking good as you approach TOD and then .00000001 seconds later it says "DRAG REQUIRED."
Well if it knew drag would be required why didn't it just back up the TOD?
One of the great mysteries of life. Kind of like when you program 310 for descent but it shows as 309.

The 73 does VNAV well 80% of the time. To avoid the zipper, program .78/320 in the descent page.
Also you don't need to open the window in turbulence. Just set .80 as the max cruise and max descent speed in perf init page 2.

Since I've been doing this I've never had to worry about overspeed -- except turbulence at cruise.
Technique only.

When does the 350 get the touch screens? And yes I know every glass jet is a touch screen, i mean where it does something when you touch it.
On the 320 I wish I could toggle path over speed and speed over path in managed descent depending on how I want to float my boat. Just make that an FMS selection.
