This seems to be a very reasonnable explanation indeed.

But, given the situation:
  • 360ft too low
  • pitch 0° when it should be ~2.5°
  • V/S negative when it should be 0.
How is it logical/reasonnable to engage such a climb that you get:
  • 3000ft+ too high ultimately
  • pitch more than 10°
  • V/S far too much positive
