At top of descent the thrust levers were closed! Just shows the huge difference made by a swept wing.
Do that in a Sovereign and you`ll stall at a 1000fpm.... with 16° swept on the wings...

Doin 174 KIAS at 3nm on a 3° GP, close the throttles and deploy full flap, youŽll make a crater at one mile final.

Them dudes at Cessnas do know how to build some drag into their flying contraptions...
