The descent procedure is usually a quick check over of the packs, manually selecting outflow valves to closed and then dialing in 10000 into the alt select and then hitting the FLCH. Usually Vmo for max performace so your descent speed is at the barber pole. Speed Brakes extended, gived you ALOT of terrain out the windows, usually stabalised at 4-5500 fpm. even higher sometimes
