I think a lot of things involve technique. For example speeds. We use to climb the 727 at Mzch .82 to cruise, level off, then reduce power to maintain the mach. 82. Descent ws at red line. But, "back then", fuel was cheap. In fact, it was, if I uinderstand correctly, the cheapest thing the ocmpany had as far as operating expense went.
Spoilers. Not only to increase descent. I have occassionally used them for that on FS, but more often I use spoilers to reduce ias to 250 to cross 10,000 on the descent. It's easy- pop the spoilers and raise the nose a bit- ias drops rather quickly and the descent continues.
