Dick, love your videos. Been watching them a long time. I also fly an M600 for work, along with Pilatus PC12. Assuming you were cleared for the approach, Instead of the "VS flick flick" habit, why not VNAV this approach down from DUCES? One less thing for the pilot to remember to have to do. Especially with the autothrottle...you can VNAV and set AT to 130 KIAS for icing speed and VO.

Thank you for your post. VNAV works well when the descent is planned advance. I like VS for last minute clearances because it can be done quickly. Both are great techniques. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
