A flight management system (FMS) uses either a performance-based or a geometric VNAV system. A performance-based VNAV system computes a descent path from the top of the descent to the first constrained waypoint using idle or near idle power. This is referred to as an idle descent path at ECON (most economic, or most fuel-efficient) speed.
