Good luck with this mate. We've been trying to get the two-winged master-race to impart their performance figures to us at NATS for years. We have got some "look at the radar and guess" figures in our simulators, which we use for ATC training and airspace design, but it would be much better if we knew exactly what ROC a Ryanair 738 wanted out of Manchester etc so that we could train to give exactly what the "customers" want, rather than have them whinging at us all the time about us not giving them their optimum profile.
The performance models we use are state of the art, but are only as good as the figures that are put into them. So come on chaps. Get the books out and deluge the boy with all the descent rates and IAS figures he needs. Then we'll do climbs...
