Question Descent profiles

A couple of questions for the assembled experts... I'm involved in simulations, so am trying to develop accurate a/c models.

Rates of descent

Would the rates of descent be affected by aircraft weight in normal airline operations? - how?


Descent profiles

What would the typical Mach/IAS profile be for a 727-200 in cruise, then descent? How much is the descent profile affected by operational factors?


Thanks in advance, all.
