Off the Jepp Charts SHEED to ASUKI is 5nm, ASUKI to YMML is 4nm. Take about 1.5 nm to adjust for the 34 threshold from the ARP and another 1 nm to 'cut the corner' at ASUKI to fly-by the wpt.

So 6.5 track miles to lose 2170ft (2500-330ft) which is 333ft per nm.

Near enough to 3.15deg profile if you cross SHEED AT 2500ft.

If you're configured early enough and don't carry too much speed, it doesn't look like such a big deal.
