"Gear down, flaps down one notch, reduce power and pitch for 500 fpm descent." I'm not even going to tell you my approach, because it will get jumped on. But seriously, in an incredibly bumpy ride, or even one with "swells" where you can't get the VSI to settle, what do YOU do?
OK, fine! I'll tell you what I do. I close my eyes, and push a little on the yoke with my forehead. I sing "Happy Birthday to you" 1.5 times, put in a bit of right rudder, and eat half a jelly donut. When I look at the needles, they seem pretty good or whatever. . . .
(Bet you can't jump on THAT technique!)
