Hello everyone,

Thanks to all your advices my descent management has significantly improved. With 3*Altitude + 1nm each 10kts to lose down to 200 (+\- wind adjustment) descent goes really fine. Just one question. Sometimes ATC asks me 210 quite early due to traffic sequencing, especially at heavy weights this can give some troubles as gradient is shallower and S/brakes are very limited due to VLS (unless I use Flaps). When you expect 210 very early due you still use 3xAlt to monitor your descent, and if you start drifting high you go F1 + Sbrakes or you modify your computation to allow for this?
