LOL thanks for the response.
Initially used to ask to prepare myself.
Took a long while till I started flying, and it's not that I do not know when to slow down, I handle it all very well now(my final stages of line training), but I just come across many people doing it differently.

Last week my CPT slowed down to green dot at 29 miles and asked for flaps 1 at 17 miles 2000 feet.
3 days ago I slowed down to green dot when I was downwind because I so no purpose to keep going farther away and the CPT suggested I keep 250 kts.
I'm just looking to see what others generally do.
I find it very uncomfortable to descend with the glide at anything other than F speed as well, and I wanted to see if it was in the norm to get down with the glide at 200 kts.

Again, thank you!
