In practice the Mustang works well in VNAV to hit all those STAR levels into Paris, VS works just as well.
Aim for 240kts max and the power changes required are easily managed SP.
If the A/p is engaged you cant easily overspeed it as the Garmin will start to pitch up as you approach VMO.
160kts max on an ILS intercept or it will go through, and back, and through, and.........
Great fun to fly, but low on power at higher levels and if you are used to something heavier very sensitive to power changes on approach, not helped by the delay in spool up on those little engines...
