Actions for Rapid / Emergency Descent

May be a few minor differences with varying aircraft types, but basically I would think.,
- Oxy Masks on.
- Transfonder 7700
- Throttles closed (A/T out)
- Turn out of airway or away from other traffic.
- Vert Speed to maintain IAS on barber's pole, initially 6000ft/min plus???
- Communicate with Cabin Crew (if possible, but may well not be an option at this time)
- Maintain this config to at least 10'000ft or MSA if higher.
- Assess situation & take appropriate action.
You are not even close for a B777's Emer Descent procedures!!
