The plan was to hit APP and AP2, but hit EXPD instead. Houses got bigger fast.... When in doubt push V/S 0, and select speed
FANTASTIC! That would be quite the surprise.

didn’t use expedite but same effect when you open des below 10000ft at 340kts. Discovered it’s better to use v/s when using sel speed greater than 320 below 10000 instead of open des.
