Max Airspeed at 10k feet

Some planes have bird strike limits anyways, the brasilia is limited to 250k below 8,000' regardless of what country you're in.

On the other hand coming into ORD the other day we were slowed to 150 knots SIXTY miles from the airport. I kid you not. I feel the NEED, the need for SPEED.
 
Oh sure. Just ask! Helps everyone out. Why waste your layover on a long, unnecessary initial?

The foreign guys are always asking for a "high speed climb", I can't approve over 250 below 10 so I ALWAYS reply "Speed your discretion" with no callsign. Gives me plausible deniability if there ever is a problem. If I "approve" it then it's on me, by saying "your discretion" I am not approving any FAR violation.

Got stuck behind one of those Caravans eh?

Really high weights in the 767 put you uncomfortably close to the stick shaker, even at 250 knots clean.

"Man, you guys must have a tailwind today..."

"Yup!"

You didn't see nothin'. :bandit:

Wow, that's pretty crazy.

It's been my understanding that if the a/c configuration required it, then one could deviate from the 250 kias restriction. I know I've seen it somewhere in the FARs, I'm just too lazy to look it up right now.

MD-90 would somewhat regularly fly above 250 below 10K.
 
Once I get the flaps up, I can't remember the last time I was below 250kts below 10k on departure. (Illustration of GNE's post)

We do empty ferries a lot. :)

Actually, the 767 is kinda awkward. Min clean speed could be over 250 knots, but the max speed for flaps 1 is 250. Of course while you're accelerating you can bring the flaps to up at 20 knots below clean speed, but add in a decent turn right after departure (one of the RNAV departures off of Shannon runway 24 requires a decent bank angle), and you're easily in the low speed buffet area on the speed tape (only an issue at 40 degrees of bank, but still!). I'm sure the 747 sees a decent amount of that, but man, that PLI is only 2-3 degrees above the pipper. Speed intervene me up, man! :)

IDK, never flown a 76. We have a bank limit at V2+80 (which is clean) then normal maneuvering at V2+100, which is what we climb at below 10k. Occasionally, we'll hold the flaps if we're in a speed restricted segment in a turn, then clean up as we get the 15 degrees of bank limit).

Seagull, I do know we don't do that much. I think it's usually around the upper 270s. That MD-11 likes it's speed, eh?
