constant descent angle approach
"Angle"? A CDFA is a Constant Descent Final Approach and a CDA is a Constant Descent Approach. I have not heard of a Constant Descent Angle Approach and it would be illogical if there was one, as you would, as you say, have to add drag at various points to stay on the constant angle to reduce speed, thereby wasting fuel.
