"less than 250 below 5000ft/FL50 (applicable to all fleets, be it boeing or airbus). Those are hard limits and may not be busted in any case, be it departure or arrival."
"Hard limits?" Have you ever flown B74s? . . . So if your flaps-up speed were 265, you'd rewrite the Boeing book, stay at "less than 250kts" and drag the flaps to 5000 feet?
