If you’re using classic jets with no FMC and little automation, you’ll have to figure which of the above rules of thumb work best. If you’re using a modern jet with FMC and VNAV/FLCH, the automation will do most of the work. But it will do (speeds, altitudes)what you’ve programmed it to. If it’s not doing what you want, check what you’ve told it to do.
Larger planes have difficulty slowing going downhill like anything else. If necessary, slow first then descend at your target speed.
