How long to get down question
"Doug" wrote in message oups.com... Ah, ok. well at 10,000 fpm, wow can that really be? It would be 4 1/2 minutes (rounding a bit), still about 1 1/2 minutes "in the pattern" (you need some time to level out, slow down and line up) and 1 minute to taxi, giving 6 minutes. That would be REALLY fast! Yup, 10,000fpm is 100kts *down*. I think a lot of jets will do *well* over 10,000fpm. My MU-2 will do almost 6,000fpm in a straight, clean, power off descent (no bank) and 10,000fpm in a slip. Keep in mind that many jets can *climb* 5,000fpm when lightly loaded. Mike MU-2
