Sometimes sounds like a bit of operator headspace to me, regarding the planning of your descent. As a large aircraft with tonnes of
momentum it is
especially important to profile your descent properly, and from 32,000ft you should be looking to start your descent around 110nm out
from your
destination, and not exceed a descent rate of about 2,000f/m in usual circumstances.

I follow ATC instructions and they do ask for me to start my descent from 32, 000 ft aprox 110 nm away from my destination, and i put on a
descent rate of -1700 ft per min, so that cant be it either!!!

BUT

I think i know the answer... as i have competly mis calculated, as you can see from my end of flight report, i had WAY too much fuel for the
flight i was doing... and therefore i was really heavy, which meant i had a lot of potential energy, and therfore was exeeding the 250 knts
limit

Anyway... that might explain that.. but i still dont get why my reputation did not go up from 99% even though the passengers had 100%
satisfactory and believe my compony should have 100% reputation! (once again look at the end of flight report!)

Thnx
