In any case, the 1:60 rule says the 5.4* path is 540 ft/nm times ground speed in nm/min. 150 knots equals about 1350 fpm.
I made the post to confirm I was not missing any other data for the calculations of the altitudes in the charts to identify and understand if the chart of the data of the mcdu is wrong. Plenty of training and years of going there 2 or 3 times per month for the past 9 years. This is not about flying the approach with less than 10ft of precision while on NAV-FPA. As mentioned before this is about understanding the math and making sure I was not missing any other criteria for the calculations. Thank you for your time and replies.
