Airspeed of military planes

So what's your point? That regulations should be written, and you should
follow them, even if it kills you, or makes the operation dangerous?


The point is a waiver of the 250 KIAS maximum speed below 10,000 MSL
specified in FAR 91.117(a) for safety reasons accomplishes nothing because
FAR 91.117(d) permits an aircraft to be operated at the minimum safe
airspeed if the
minimum safe airspeed for any particular operation is greater than the
maximum speed otherwise permitted. It would be waiving a rule that didn't
have to be followed anyway.

They're also used for navigation training at airspeeds below 250 KIAS.


That's fine, but navigation training at airspeeds below 250 KIAS can be
conducted anywhere.

I see. You're trying to bring logic into a tort arena. Good for you...

Airspeed limitation below 10000ft is usually 250kts unless you have been
authorized by the Administrator. However I guess it's a bit slow for
military fighters. So I am curious how fast military fighters fly in the
real world. I guess it's very dangerous military aircraft fly much fast
among civilian planes.



So how fast is short final in a F-14 or whatever? Always wanted to know.

There was a climb corridor out of Mt. Home well into the 80's.


I have Salt Lake City sectionals from 1969, 1972, and 1987, none of them
show a climb corridor at Mountain Home AFB. Nor does the current chart,
which can be viewed online at:

If the "Dash One" manual for the military airplane specifies a speed
higher
than 250 below 10,000' it's OK to fly that fast.

Same applies to civil craft. Loaded 747 would climb at about 273. We would
just advise ATC of climb speed. Were you required/requested to do that?

I'm not sure what map it was. Do you have any highs and lows from
back then?

Probably, but these things were charted on sectional charts.
