Bloggs,
Normal descent for us would usually be about .73/280kt.
I tend to reduce the cost index to meet the julim time and if that works I don't worry about changing the descent. However if its a big delay, then we'll start reducing the descent speed. It hasn't occurred to me to try changing the descent speed first...might have to give it a go and see what happens
73-200?...ah, you must be on the top of Kevin McNamaara's noise complaint hit list?
