Since it has been mentioned relating to Turbo-props, losing 10.000 in 10 miles is readily achieved in a B737. Fully configured at 40 Flap with the gear down and speed of 140kts. the 737 will lose one thousand feet a mile in a 10kt headwind. (No speedbrake)
I would think the same might well be possible in other jet aircraft but I don't know from experience. However, long gone (pre GPWS etc.) are the days when it was considered 'slick' to do power-off descents to touch down.
Ah, happy days!?!? perhaps!!
