Airbus FCU technique w/RNAV

Regarding RNAV approaches, what are you guys doing


Prior Company, LCC all-Airbus operator (USA). Training department was basically "Airbus factory curriculum"

"Cleared for approach" (APPR is green/active in MCDU by now)

Push APPR pushbutton, arm the approach
Set "bottom altitude" FAF/FAP altitude in altitude window FCU
PUSH altitude knob
Set missed approach at FINAL APP

Current Company, mix of Boeing and Airbus

"Cleared for the approach"

Push APPR pushbutton, arm the approach
Do nothing else
Set missed approach altitude at FINAL APP

Both "work" but....

Thanks
