August 13, 20214 yr Commercial Member P2A does not calculate the descent rate. You have to enter it. For an airliner, 1800 FPM is a good starting point. When flying, to make the Descent go according to plan, you need to fly the planned GS as well as maintain the planned descent rate. Also, don't forget to slow down to 250kts below 10000 ft.
