JetJock330,

You might be right; you think he forgot go parallel to the runway? We need a flight track leaked to wikileaks... Anybody?

And one point: A map shift is not likely a failure of the airplane. It's caused primarily by a failure of one of the ground stations sometimes even hours before letdown. The update system is doing what it was designed to do. But the shift might be insidious when you've got your hands full.

Q: How do you disable all auto updates in the A330?

I bet if you try it sometime you will be surprised how hard it is to do (since A/B doesn't want you to ever do that, if my hunch is correct.)
