How do I fly this approach?
a writes:
The question was directed to the OP, Maury. Consider again the clearance and your position. My own preference is to not have to hurry down from en route altitudes. At a ground speed of 120 knots, with a maximum of ten miles within which to descend from 6000 feet to 4300 feet, I would need a descent rate of 340 fpm, which is easily achievable. With a 40-knot tailwind at 120 KIAS (not inconceivable in this case), I would need a descent rate of 453 fpm, still easy to achieve.
