I second square leg on this one , when in a TCA in high density traffic you should ideally use V/S so as to not cause unecessarry TCAS alerts and also so that the autothrust doesnt bounce up and down . . . .

Yet at the same time if your high n hot on the 30 Open DES ALONG with full speed breaks get you there no question about it .. .

Having said that when ur below 2000 ' your in SPEED mode so as not to end up in a high energy state when so close to the ground
