The Navy's S-3 Viking used to be famous for one of the highest rates of
descent. When I got time in the sim at JAX we were told they could set
off
ATC alarms with a fast descent.


No more so than any other aircraft. Climb or descent rates markedly
different than normal cause loss of the Mode C readout.

At Flight Safety we bring an "on fire" Falcon 50EX from 41000 feet to a
complete stop on the runway in 4min 21sec. Now THAT is fun in the Sim.
