Hello,
Thanks to all advices, especially
sonicbum one my descent has significantly improved. Our aircrafts (mostly) don’t have DPO thus using height*3 + 1nm each 10knts down to 200 really optimizes descent.
In your opinion in busy airspace where I expect ATC will ask me to decelerate many times while descending (ie speed 220 then speed 210 then 180) do I need to stay lower and account extra margins or not? As for many subjects many captains give different feedbacks (and prompts): some of them say that even if I will get speed deceleration by ATC while descending 5nm from 250 to decelerate is perfect, others that 5nm is fine only if I can keep 250 until close to level off, decel and configure. If I expect deceleration while descending should be lower and account maybe 10nm from 250 to decel…
