Climbs: Fine, my plane will barely do that in RVSM airspace anyway.
Descents: Screw that. Show me that in the regs and I'll show you a reg that A.) No one follows; B.) ATC doesn't want you to do; and C.) Is stupid, stupid, stupid.
That's really not bright. Why not increase your initial descent rate so you CAN do 1500 fpm in the last 1000-2000'
And if you're going into an airport that crosses arriving and departing traffic with 1000' separation, you WILL force a TCAS RA if you're diving at 3000 fpm to make the fix. The same goes for climbing out.
When I do get those TA's and occasional RA's, I'll know it must be you blundering through the skies with the blessing of ATC. Thanks.
