I'm an ex-PPl and a Flight Simmer. I would be grateful if a professional pilot would take the trouble to give me a suitable rate of descent, with no restrictions, say into FuertaVentura in the Canaries for instance, in a 737/A320. type. I am aware of the trebling of the height loss=distance to go formula, which gives, say, 99miles to loose 33,000 feet. Are rates of descent of 3,000 feet or more per min current and acceptable.Sorry if this is a childish question, but cannot fly the real thing anymore. Cheers, and love reading Pprune. Thankyou.
