It's at or below 200 knots and the authority is the departure criteria
the FAA uses.

Take a look at Salmon Idaho KSMN, Ahehu 1 RNAV Dept (Obstacle). I
realize few aircraft are equipped to fly this, however;

1. Notice the "at 200 kt" requirement for some waypoints. Is this
TAS, GS, or IAS? And a reference please if you know of one.

2. Why is the stipulation "at" instead of "at or below"?

Thanks b. For lurkers, the Jepp chart does indeed say "at 200 kt".
The reference that I was looking for is the FAR or AIM that tells the
pilots whether the charted speed is supposed to be TAS, GS, or IAS. I
realize the notam clarifies that it is IAS, but without it, how does a
pilot know? Stan
