How bout the visual to 31L at PSP from the north (been doing this one all month long). Cross MORON (yeah, yeah) at 16000 (ATC keeping folks high due to a fire TFR), thrust to idle, flaps 20 below 15K, boards out. 230 knots, 3500-4000 fpm descent on the downwind, gear and flaps 30 on a 3-mile base, roll out on final with flaps 45 just as you reach 1000 AFE. Whee doggie!!
One guy threw out gear and flaps 30 on the downwind, I think we saw 4800 fpm briefly. That was a bit much, though.
