Use my method, listed above, and you have a "go fast" switch. The stick puller is powered through the left stall warning system. Turn it off and let 'er rip! .82 is MMO, but she'll go .84-.85 just fine, in smooth air.

You should be ashamed of yourself, those limiters are there for a reason.

Yeah.... They limited how fast I wanted to go.

That's the kind of thing that ought to have its circuit protection via an inline fuse inside the bus panel.

Maybe @unclassified is the reason you'll find circuit breaker panels that can't be accessed in flight.

How fast did the owner of the airplane want you to go? If there were pax, how fast did they want to go? You're never going to break any records in a 20 series Lear.

You obviously never flew cancelled checks back in their heyday. Burn gas and haul a**.

You also probably wouldn't approve of flying from TEB to PNE, VFR at 1500ft doing 350kts at 5:30 in the morning.

Or when descending below 10,000ft into the sort at MDW at 2:30AM, all the company Learjets coming from all over the country and Chicago Approach says "Looks like you guys have a nice tailwind of about 75-80kts tonight. The winds must be swirling as all you guys have the same tailwind, regardless of the direction you are coming from". Code for we know the deal and we don't care.
5:30? why so late?

Bank air got the same uh tailwind regularly circa 2008. Some things never change.

It was "Bankair" back when I was racing them to the MDW threshold in my trusty Mitsi, which was red lined at 250, damn it.

It still is Bankair, Badlands was the call sign for Flight Development LLC, which was the resurrected Flightline Inc d/b/a American Check Transport. Just spoke with the Chief Pilot of Flight Development the other day, they are out of the check hauling business and just keeping the cert. going with a Malibu.
I think Bankair is still going as well, maybe just ad hoc stuff now and MX.
Pretty much that whole segment of the industry is as dead as fried chicken.

Jeebus! I heard what happened to KDK, but wow! I think when I started in Oct'05 there were like 180ish on the list maybe? I can't remember if that included Jetride or not though.
