Altitude

Once time is up, request landing flap, match the speed, set RWY heading and use V/S to start a 300fpm descend, complete landing checklist.

Ibanez,

Just out of interest, can you use the v/s on the 737NG without setting the Alt on MCP to "0" or landing altitude. My PMDG sim doesn't allow me to bust the missed approach altitude set on the MCP by using the vertical speed wheel to below the alt set.
Also a question on the Altitude display of the MCP. Why is it that an exact altitude can not be entered (or is this my sim again) on the MCP. Why am I constrained to 100ft increments in this instance and yet not when using the FMC and VNAV.

Thanks

Sebastian
