On descents, as soon as I'm given a new altimeter setting I read it back and set it. Otherwise, if I wait, I'll forget what it was.

I use 3 x the altitude to lose PLUS 10 Plus 10 percent of the tailwind.

A good wag for rate of descent is 3 x your mach number. ie 3x.80mach = 2400 ft/min rate of descent. At crossover, still...
