Heavies can accelerate to their min clean speed if above 250kts.
No request or clearance required although I do always notify ATC of my speed requirements below 10K.
If the minimum safe airspeed for any particular operation is greater than the maximum speed prescribed in this section, the aircraft may be operated at that minimum speed.
