Very interesting reading...
But regarding the ROD, if you're capturing from above the ROD is probably gonna be around 1500 FPM or maybe more already so it might take some time before you actually realize that its the wrong lobe that has been captured...
I'm just speculating here, but I would say that capturing from above and from high altitude could be a great source of danger... and it's bad procedure from the ATC to keep aircraft high like that...
well well, thanx for the great input, it's been interesting =)
