DFW Highspeed departures

[Bandit_Driver]

I haven't been through DFW in some time now. I was wondering if DFW still has the practice of accelerating aircraft too 300 KIAS below 10,000?

 

[BobDDuck]

I pretty certain it was a trial program and it ended a while ago.

 

[Firebird2XC]

To the best of my knowledge, no.

With the exception of an aircraft operational requirement that I don't know of, I've never heard anybody cleared for that. Most of the RNAV departures have speed crossing restrictions of 240 or less until around the bend regardless of altitude, too.

The high speed departures were at IAH, not DFW. The program started in 1997 and ended a few years later.

The Houston Increased Speed Departure test program was terminated on January 1, 2004.

Sounds like a useful program. My standard climb schedule in the 117 was already 350 until .78M anyway.

Yeah, but that doesn't count because nobody could see you doing it.

Was she in your squadron?

Thanks for info everyone. So I take it the higher speeds were not much of a benefit.

What was the motto?

When it doubt, whip it out.

No. But she was:
