This is perhaps more appropriate for the boys and girls down at SZC but I will welcome anything that brings an end to the descent clearances that come with 'level in one minute' or 'rate 1000 or better' etc.
I understand the rationale behind such instructions but why can't we just have a NOTAM for Dubai stating that the minimum rate of descent prior to the STAR should be 1000 feet per minute, unless otherwise advised?
If the time spent adding these caveats was added up, I could perhaps recite War and Peace quicker!
