Which also IMHO brings me to another related IMHO probable screwup by newstypes
The mention of ' critical' or " overspeed" or max speed in various accounts re Ethopian crash
I suggest the confusion is that 300 or similar knots at less than 1000 AGL for a commercial airliner is definitelty too fast under both rules and common sense, thus for the unwashed, they use critical or overspeed
That meme gets picked up and repeated - and without full context makes ' sense' ?
Whereas 300 knots at any reasonable altitude is a non event and not close to VNE
Just this SLF .00002 cents
