Hi,
never seen any restriction or rule about that.;for the latest k" , it's also a question of perfo...while climbing to fl 400..;the vast majority cannot sustain a 1000ft/ '...and to make it smoother ..usually it's about 500 ft/ ' or less...
another reason to reduce the rate is to avoid TA...frequent if you keep a high rate for the latest feet...with a LJ45 I can maintain easily a
3000ft / ' up to 370...but if I keep such a rate..the yellow or red fruits will appear faster then desired on the screen..
