Monitor the FMC using the following:
Press the Metres button - use the readout to give the track miles required to touchdown. It gives you a little over 3 x FL at height (which allows for the greater speed) and closer to 3 x Ht as you get closer to mother earth.
Less than 250kts requires exactly 3 x Ht for a constant descent approach. Works every time (sensible correction for wind).

If you get a VNAV overspeed disconnect, going to Lvl Chg and increasing speed is not always a good option.
Speedbrakes are fitted in this aircraft to be used if required. All speedbrakes are uncomfortable for God's sake.
Getting high in the latter stages of an approach in this aircraft is most definately the wrong place to be.
Practice the fast and high approach procedures any day at BCN when Rwy 07 in use!!!!!!!!!!
