Whilst descent rates on Flitesim are being discussed, a question from my flightsimming neighbour. Is more than 2,000fpm considered excessive on a normal descent from a level, at say, Mach.7 with 33,000 feet to lose, and 100 DME to destination. Would more be considered comfortable for pax, and what would be considered highest normal allowable rate of descent [from pax point of view, rather than ATC requests] Ta muchly.
