Flight decent ATC interaction

[rwy12 16]

Hi everyone

can somebody please help me with understanding the ATC interaction within flight.

I understand that at start up the flight crew has to start the request for clearance,push back ,taxi and take off when at holding point.

I am not clear about the process after that..... at the point of TOD, is it the pilot that asks for permission to start the decent or  does P2A  send the instructions automatically.

I am keen to learn more about ATC-is there any good tutorials that you suggest.

Many thanks

If you are flying VFR, you start down on your own. If you are flying on an IFR flight plan, Pilot2ATC will tell you when to begin your descent.
