Rocket science this ain't.
Used to have a First Officer who, as soon as he reached top of climb, would calculate for hours just where he wanted to descend, and would spin the bezel on his Breitling watch until it nearly fell off...and in the end, when TOD came 'round, he would
still have it bollexed up.
Descent at 100nm worked just fine in the 'ole tri-motored Lockheed, with ROD adjusted for wind.
