Green dot speed on the 343 when heavy is around 260 knots so that's what you'll accelerate to after take-off and clean up! Our SOP's are to climb at either Green Dot or 250kts (whichever is greater) and then accelerate to en-route climb speed. On current cost index that's around 300kts or so. Does the climb rate really matter anyway once away from the airfield?
