FL200 to FL260 1000-1500fpm
FL260 to FL350 300-1500fpm deepending on weight

Decent
2500fpm to FL100
Below FL100 800-3000fpm

EHM-1570 Bruce:
I have just flown the B738 and on descent the descent rate was set at 2500ft/min, I timed the descent with stopwatch and it was exactly 2500 ft in 1 minute, and yet I still incurred penalties for high descent rate !!!!

EHM-1570 Bruce:
I have just checked through the acars file for my flight in the B738 and at no point is the descent rate in excess of 2500 ft/min. so I have no idea why I should have incurred descent rate penalties.

EHM-1150 Armando:
My friends,

I'm going to investigate what's going on about these penalties.

Please be patiente.

EHM-1570 Bruce:
I have just made another flight in the B738, this time I got V/S penalty on climb out from airport, while under the control of the FMC???. I have found that if you do not descend at a rate in excess of 2000 ft/min you will not incurr any descent rate penalties.
