4, 3.5, or 3 degree descent
It is my understanding that the steeper the descent and the longer we hold off on the descent saves that much more fuel. But really how much are we saving, is it that much of a difference as to make such an uncomfortable descent for the passengers. Im just thinking at a 4 degree descent with calm winds your pushing 3500+ FPM, thats hard on the ears! What do you guys think. I usually do 3.5, or whatever the boss wants.
