What's minimum Rate of Descent ATC expects?
I was thaught 1000 ft/min (long time ago). I've read somewhere that min in London Terminal is 500 ft/min. I've also read 500 for Swiss FIR/UIR.
Also talked to a guy who says there is min gradient. He doesn't remember how much but it coresponds to 1000 ft/min when aircraft speed is 7Nm/min (I figured it's 150 ft/Nm than which gives 600 ft/min (or 500) in terminals with speed of 250kts or bellow)
