.........in some countries it's SOP to reduce vertical speed to 1000ft/mt within last 2000ft to level off. So the TA are avoided.
It wasn't SOP with any of the airlines I flew for, but we all did it anyway - especially in busy TMAs. I still think it's odd that manufacturers never modified their software to perform this function automatically when TCAS came in and TA/RAs became a possibility.
Having to intervene just before the point of ALT capture every time is both a pain and a potential level bust.
But on Airbus; setting 1000'/min and
pulling V/S before ALT* is surely much easier? ALT will still capture.
