Hi it's me again. Well I'm glad that we got that issue sorted out? I think we're basically agreeing that the legal figure is 500fpm but in some situations a higher rate is useful (clearing SEVERAL stack levels from the en-route release - good point Vertigo). The reason for my querie is that it's much better, from a passenger comfort and noise point of view, to keep a constant rate of descent all the way down. There's nothing worse than the thrust going up and down all the way from 45 North of BNN to when we drop the wheels. It makes ME nauseous never mind the PAX down the back!
Cheers guys.
