Intercepting the glideslope from above can be a critical moment. 

 

Sounds of lowering the gear..

and setting the flaps to at least 2..

 

 

 

to visualize.. 

 

 

It is highly likely that the open descent mode is already engaged. If the crew selects a higher altitude on the Flight Control Unit (FCU), the descent mode will transition to Vertical Speed (VS) mode.
