If the descent rate is maintained at 2,000 feet per minute, how many feet will you lose in one minute?

When the descent rate is set at 2,000 feet per minute, this means that for every minute of descent, the aircraft will drop 2,000 feet. Therefore, if you maintain this descent rate for a full minute, you will lose exactly 2,000 feet in altitude. This is a straightforward calculation based on the defined descent rate, which indicates the amount of altitude lost per unit of time. The other options reflect incorrect interpretations of the given descent rate.
