3 x ALT and start OP DES at your calculated dist, ref the FLT PLN
page. Add in your factors like dist to 210kt etc, expected TW/HW,
flap setting (3 or Full) and GW.

As junebug said NEVER trust that bloody DES mode - it'll screw you
up big time esp when it comes to any combined alt/speed crossing
restrictions.
