A Canadair RJ-200 pilot reported a 250 KIAS speed restriction due to
structural reasons.

Can anyone provide more detailed info on the RJ-200 problem???


Sounds fishy. If there were a structural problem that required slower
speeds, I would think the FAA would ground the fleet. And, who would
fly them anyway with such a limitation?


They didn't ground the Bonanzas when they issued the very restrictive
speed limit on them. 250K**I**AS doesn't sound like much of a
limitation though. That's pretty darn fast at Jet altitudes.
