Default 250 KIAS SPEED RESTRICTION

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???

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

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?

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

The colder the windshield is, the more brittle it is.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

The windshield or the pilots?

When the wings on the King Airs were falling off they didn't issue a speed
restriction. However, all the bolts have to be changed now at 5 years and
the bathtub fittings inspected. The later models have the wing bolts in
shear rather than tension. Too bad the theory was "safe life" rather than
"fail safe." But that WAS how most airplanes were built.

Not fishy at all. See my previous post about the windshield heat system.

In addition, I flew the L-188 Lockheed Electra for a couple of years
with an FAA mandated speed restriction due to the wings falling off.
