Citation Descent Profiles

I found a copy online of th Citation Bravo flight planning guide. In it, it lists 2 descent profiles. High and low speed.

For planning purposes, getting the max range, which one is used.

Interestingly, the fuel flow on the descent works out pretty much the same as the long range cruise fuel flow per hr. is that due to them not using idle power for the decent as the large jets do, think its for door seal inflation?

Do te newer CJ series use idle power for descents?
