250 KIAS SPEED RESTRICTION

As another poster said, it could have been due to a windshield crack. (BTW,
on a 727 there is no restriction if an outer pane only is cracked. A
pressurization limitation of 5PSID and 2 PSID would be imposed in the event
of inner or both panes cracked, respectively).

Another reason for a speed limitation (on the B727) include inop Yaw Dampers
(270K to 350K depending on altitude)

structural reasons.

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

It's not necessarily a fleetwide problem, it could be just that airplane.

In the old Boeings, we had a similiar restriction if the windshield
heat was inop. Bird proofing.


Huh? What does windshield heat have to do with birds?

Windshield heat probably has something to do with windshield strength.

Supposedly, a bird striking a warm windshield will bounce off rather than
breaking though. I'm sceptical of that myself, but I expect that the bird
doesn't care either way.

Indication problem with the gear most likely. Flew with it down and pinned.
Most other problems can be speed taped and flown at normal speed.

What is "speed taped"?

Aluminum tape with a strong adhesive. Great Stuff. The stuff we used was
rated for 500 MPH. Used to cover dents or holes in composite parts.

Can I use it on our cherokee to go 500 mph?

Michelle, et al,

Along similar lines, I recently flew an America West 757 that had it's
spoilers placarded as INOP and according to the Captain, per their MEL they
were altitude restricted to no higher than FL290...

RVSM starts at 290 doesn't it? Why would spoilers (or the lack of same) be
a concern for RVSM flight?

Just wondering if anyone may have a clue on this...

Yes. Use the speed tape to attach a turbofan engine to it.
