Howdy all.... Just started polling around 737 Ng series [700/800] and having never flown jets before am having a little trouble on descents. Tell me folks what do you think is the best profile or method to descend these things???
I've heard and been shown a few methods..ie starting descent early so that it will hold the profile in VNAV Path, using Speed in leiu of path etc, etc. It appears with a bit of a tailwind the Aircraft wont hold VNAV Path and tends to go into ' overspeed disconnect' fairly early on descent. Any thoughts, profiles from experience, FMC manipulations, methods or calculations that may help the process would be appreciated.
Thanks.
