Now, when the aircraft is "clean" and still below 3000 AAE, I seem to remember the aircraft accelerating to 250, and did not maintain Green Dot for the climb below 3000 ft AAE.
Could some one help me out here?
Many thanks.
It is rare, to ever see Green Dot as the "target climb speed" below 10, and for sure not above 10. In most cases, it will target 250 below ten. Most departures have altitude and airspeed contraints on them. Above ten, climb speed is largely dictated by Cost Index
