What is the flight envelope
Limits in which an event will take place or predictable behaviour.
Operating parameters of the aircraft
What factors are included in the flight envelope?

What is continuous Decent Approach?
An aircraft operating technique in which an arriving aircraft descends from an optimal position with minimum thrust and avoids level flight to the extent permitted by the safe operation of the aircraft and compliance with published procedures and ATC Instructions.
