No there are no regulations for climb or descent rates for VFR flight.


Err I don't think that's 100% correct but it will do for MX.


Please then for my benefit point me to such a regulation.


Technically speaking, it is illegal to descend faster than about 25,000fpm
(needs to be adjusted based on density, since it's give in terms of
indicated airspeed) when below 10,000ft. I doubt too many flights would
need to worry about this limitation.
