I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I believe a controller will
issue an alert if a pilot is descending faster than 1700 fpm.
Not while you are VFR.
Hmmm. I remember a specific instance during my VFR training that an
instructor warned me to be careful about coming down too fast because it
would cause an alerts with ATC... For some reason, since I know you to be a
controller, I have more faith in your response.
When you are VFR the computer will not give low altitude alerts.
