Emergency descent rates
I am an air traffic control instructor, rewriting some radar exercises (i.e. deleting the Vikings Viscounts and Vanguards!). One of the scenarios requires an emergency descent following cabin de-pressurisation. Given some typical commercial jets and turbo-props, what rate of descent would you guys expect to achieve from cruise to FL100 ish? The boffins programming the sim seem to think that expedited ROD + 10% is OK - I say a lot more. Give me some figures related to type guys, then I can re-program a boffin. Cheers
