What does ATC expect from pilots? Descend/Speed
Hey all,

Sorry to double post, but I was directed here to get a more precise answer to my questions.
The original thread is active here:
http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/58995...ml#post9651821

Here we go:

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find some more info on:

1) How much descend rate ATC expects usually? 1000ft/min minimum?!? Anything at all?

2) When ATC asks for speed reduction how fast do they want the reduction to happen. At what difference in speed do they expect the use of spoilers? Instead of just letting the plan decelerate.

I heard some answers to these questions in my career, but seems there is a lot of gossips, so I wanted to find it PANS OPS/ATM and other docs but wasnt successful.

Thanks
Chally
