Yes, it is an easy thing to do whether you're FMC equipped or not, the difficulty was putting it in a short R/T instruction which left no room for "personal interpretation". I think "Mach X THEN IAS Y" should do it - but from the above it would seem the need to switch over to "IAS Y" when you reach it and not just go tanking on at "Mach X" needs emphasising...... I agree with you, though - it shouldn't!
