Please don't tell me that you are one more of the legion of airbus pilots who will use an ALT CSTR in the waypoint and then use managed descent!

Sigh, sigh, sigh

How do you maintain "the requested rate" (being the high rate of descent requested by ATC) in Level Change, Idle and Selected speed? Or do you mean you'll just take whatever rate it gives you?
Maybe one should get familiar with his aircraft energy management rather than selected VS at -1500 ft for 9000 feet...just saying...just saying..
