So the numbers you cite indicate an ~11% speed increase by airliners
over that prescribed by 91.117 (250 knots), unlike the ~43% (441 KCAS) mentioned in the F-16's AIB report. That works out to the F-16 exceeding the 250 knot airspeed limit by about four times more than what the airliners do. Given those numbers, I'm inclined to believe that the speeds at which the military routinely operates on MTRs is considerably more significant (by about a factor of four) than that at which airliners operate in terminal airspace under positive control and separated from all other aircraft by ATC in Class B airspace. MTR flights are not provided radar services by ATC in most instances, because FAA radars do not provide coverage at near ground level out in the desert where most MTRs are located. Thanks for the data point. Larry, I routinely flew in MTRs at 540KTAS or greater, (but not over .95M), 540knts was the "programmed training speed" for the B-1, program speed for the B-52 was 340KTAS.
