It depends on where you are. I'm not sure of the regs, but in Chicago's area I've gotten yelled at for not maintaining at least 1000FPM.
Actually not true, while I was at Eagle I got reamed out by Chicago departure for climbing at 200 KTS, due to weather we were trying to get on top of. Controller was livid that we dare not accelerate to 250 KIAS once we had complied with the ORD 1 crossing restrictions.Thats right....we chicago controllers are so known for yelling...don't think so!
Fly the freaking plane, climb and descend to what ever you and the plane are comfortable doing. If unable to climb or descend at 500fpm or greater.....Advise us.....other then that....Fly the plane the way you need to fly it.
Sorry man, I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers but it's true. During peak traffic periods while transiting near the city of Chicago I have been told quite a few times to increase my rate of descent. If I tried to keep a shallow descent until I intercepted a normal descent profile I got a call to increase it. Chicago has a habit of descending you early if you are going eastward and landing in the DTW area. I figure it's to keep clear of the arrivals and departures. I never said it bothered me or anything. It's just the way it is.Thats right....we chicago controllers are so known for yelling...don't think so!
