I could have sworn that there was a speed limit of Mach 1 when you were above 10,000MSl but I can't seem to find it. I would assume that it would be with 91.117 "Aircraft Speed", but it only states the 250kias reg for under 10000MSL. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Maybe I heard wrong?
 
§ 91.817 Civil aircraft sonic boom.
(a) No person may operate a civil aircraft in the United States at a true flight Mach number greater than 1 except in compliance with conditions and limitations in an authorization to exceed Mach 1 issued to the operator under appendix B of this part.

(b) In addition, no person may operate a civil aircraft for which the maximum operating limit speed MM0 exceeds a Mach number of 1, to or from an airport in the United States, unless—

(1) Information available to the flight crew includes flight limitations that ensure that flights entering or leaving the United States will not cause a sonic boom to reach the surface within the United States; and

(2) The operator complies with the flight limitations prescribed in paragraph (b)(1) of this section or complies with conditions and limitations in an authorization to exceed Mach 1 issued under appendix B of this part.

I never realized Val Kilmer had such wimpy forearms. Wimpy forearms + gum chewing + spiky blond hair = guy ready to get his arse kicked.

...and probably score with all our wives and girlfriends! :)
 
Well played, Sir. Well played.
Oh contaire.....higney85's quote came from "The Later Years" SNL skit. All the following replies went off on TopGun dialog.

Now excuse me, while I go back to the hotel, take a shower, dry off and go play some volley ball. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



PS......Why Kelly? Why?
 
When you shave with a Mach 3 you fly at Mach 3...
When you shave with a Mach 3 you don't have time to think...if you think, you're dead!

Bogey on our six! He's got tone!
That's the four o'clock out of Tampa.
