3000 fpm is a good starting point. Like has already been said you can play with the angle to get your descent rate on progress page two. If you want to see how high or low you are on the calculated path you can go nav, page 2, maintenance, next, setup, sensors, vn data(I think those are the button pushes). The purpose of using this page is to not descend at idle and 3500 fpm and then hit your altitude 20 miles before the fix, then have to push the power up, negating the fuel savings of an idle descent, it helps you get it a lot closer. With no speed restriction I usually try to keep about 1000 feet low so that I can transition from my 3500 fpm descent and not slam the pax in their seats. With a speed reduction I will usually keep 1500, maybe a bit more so that I can transition and make the speed restriction.
