Ahhhh....Lockheed.
Ahh, also McDonnell Douglas oops Boeing 717...
Tell it where you want to end up, with any ifs or buts in between (and the descent winds) and as long as the Altitude Selector has been wound down below you, the jet descends automatically at it's FMS descent point, prioritising the vertical path, using thrust to control the speed ie close to idle. Decel at 10,000 to 250 occurs automatically (or nay other target you put in to the FMS plan), as does final decel for landing. Works spot on (almost) every time. Makes me feel guilty taking home my pay.
If it can't stay on the path with idle, it'll tell you to "add drag" ie speedbrake.
If the wheels fall off, 16k@50track miles, 12k@40tm, 9k@30tm, 5k@20tm, 3k@10tm, using Vertical Speed (speed with thrust) or Level Change (speed with Pitch/idle power).
Nice stiff wings too so no wing bending problems!
