Hi Folks:
On Sunday night I came home from Tampa to JFK via jetBlue. I noticed on both flights, via the seat back flight tracker, that our groundspeed was well over 400 mph by the time we got to 10,000. Does the 250 knot limitation apply to airliners? I am just a VFR private but I thought that applied to all aircraft except military. As a matter of fact we were like 350 mph(300 knts?) before we even hit 5000, and I don't think we were in a 50 mph direct tailwind. Any explanation?
Anyhow, the A320 is a NICE airplane. Thanks!
