To burn fuel fast, set full flaps, lower the gear and deploy the speed brakes. Then hold a safe airspeed for the holding pattern. Because of the drag produced by the flaps, gear and speedbrakes, the N1 and N2 will increase and the fuel will burn much faster.

I was under the impression deploying the speed brakes past flaps 5 was a No-No.

I asked a friend who flies the NG about this once and he told me that he had never used the speed brake while having deployed flaps in the real bird
