"Commuter Category Airplane means a multiengine airplane that has a seating configuration, excluding pilot seats, of 19 or less, and a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 19,000 pounds or less."
AJ: "Spoilers up, flaps & gear down" For an emergency descent from high altitude spoilers yes but gear and flaps no. High true airspeed will cause structural damage to the gear and flaps. Ask Hoot Gibson. During an emergency descent you accelerate to maximum airspeed to descend in the least amount of time. Most commercial aircraft have a maximum altitude of around 20,000 feet to lower the gear and flaps to protect them structurally.

👍 Thanks for the clarification. My experience was military. We rarely did in-route descents, we'd overfly our landing point, pull the throttles back and raise the spoilers while being vectored into the pattern. The battle staff in the back end would complain so eventually we'd slow to gear down speed, drop the gear to make the plane dirty. The process was a little quieter and with less buffeting. Out of the few IFEs I experienced none required a rapid descent.
Earlybrd….Arkancide is the term used for people that die mysterious deaths and have a connection to the Clinton family. There’s a long list including Seth Rich and Vince Foster that are suspected of committing “Arkancide”.
You can DDG (Duck duck go)it as the term is common.
