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

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.


Or climb!


But in fact this can be waived and very frequently is.

It is an absolute violation to ascend or descend faster 186,000mps.

But
feel free to try and let me know the outcome.


That may change this year....
