I do too. What precisely is the problem with staying in VNAV while using Heading to zip around some weather on descent? Probably the same "team" that decided "that thou shalt

That's ridiculous. The job is hard enough as it is without having to refer to the AFM
as well. Do

I can think of a few dumb designed-in features/procedures...
