You routinely descent at 3500 feet per minute, Ben? My ears never bother me in normal flight, but dropping *that* fast might cause someone some pretty severe discomfort. Funnily enough, it's never bothered me when slower descents have. When towing gliders for a busy glider club, I used to find some sink and spiral down in the sink. I could get the VSI (+-6000 feet/min model) to peg down if I did that. Never bothered me in the slightest. Nor did spins which have a similar descent rate in the planes I've done them in. However, slow descents make my ears pop! -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee"
