I only use FLC for climbing. Use VS for descending and keep it to a max of ~2000 FPM. Get the altitude of your destination airport. You want to descend to about 2000’ above the ground. Example - you’re at FL300 and your airport is at about 1000’. You’ll want to descend to about 3000’ if you’re flying VFR, or about 27,000’. Watch your ETE at the top of the MFD. If you want to use a 1000 FPM descent, then start down about 30-32 minutes out. For 2000 FPM, cut that time in half. If you’re not already using it, there’s also a projected altitude arc available in the map settings. This will put an ark on the map ahead of your path that indicates where you should arrive at your target altitude.
