Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC
Pixel Dent writes: Well, once again I don't know much about airliners, but in smaller planes at least you don't generally increase airspeed to descend you reduce power. Not me. The descent is where I get back the speed I invested in the climb. If turbulence allows I set up a 500 fpm descent, without touching the power which is almost always max for cruise. I generally then get 190 MPH indicated in the descent, which is the bottom of the yellow arc. |
