Yup, on my type it is a descent to lowest safe altitude or 10.000ft whichever is higher at a target speed of Mmo/Vmo with speed brake extended. At normal cruising levels one could extend the gear as well which would enable a Mmo descend but not Vmo anymore (320kts instead of 340). Only if structural integrity is in doubt we have to limit our speed.
