RYANAIR pilots breaking 250kIAS limit OCAS
Note to Ryanair pilots:
When leaving controlled airspace to get into Prestwick, many of you are flying faster than the 250kIAS Outside CAS below Flight Level 100 LAW, sometimes right up to the barber's pole and usually, but not always, when you are running late. 300knots at 4000' over TRN has been seen!
I don't want you guys and girls to think that this isn't being spotted.
Perhaps the non-UK nationals they employ aren't aware of this restriction.
Be careful, you will be caught one day.

Is that 250 kt.airspace by AIP so that controllers canīt let you exceed that limit even if they want to, of is it belonging to Prestwick making it possible for ATCOīs to approve higher speeds. Just a question from someone not familiar with the area.
Looking at your profile, why do you even care. Or is it just your profile thatīs not telling the whole story??
Do you think that 300 at 4000` is dangerous if no other traffic around?

This sounds pretty safe compared to the speed they taxy around Gatwick at!
If they don't have any other frills I guess punctuality must feature highly on their list of what customers want. Oh, I nearly forgot, they're cheap too.
An accident waiting to happen if you ask me, maybe the punters won't be so keen on the cheap fares at that point.

The problem is it's Class G airspace where 'see and be seen' is the separation standard. hence the CAA have decreed that it's a 250Kt maximum area, though this obviously doesn't apply to the military or aircraft with an exemption.
ATC are not allowed to lift it even if they wanted to.
Anyone know how many speeding points you need to tot up before you lose your ATPL ??
And is it a fixed penalty fine ?
PS My vested interest is as a GA flyer in the area. I'd rather not end up as a speck on the windshield of a 737 who was going too fast to employ the 'see and avoid' princples !!

youneverstoplearning, well then next thing you should learn is to start reading the posts!
I told you that Iīm unfamiliar with the area, hint: I have no charts
Oh, and the barberpole huh? Jumpseating a lot on FR??
Thanks to 10W for answering my question!!

interesting as some of those who applied to work for the ryans recently got dropped in the sim due lack of handling skills...those who have left the ryans have had no problem on sim rides ...its alot easier at 250 then 300 ...and as for this safety issue you should look at the amount of movements v's the safety record ...many companys would be envious ..330 to ten miles whats wrong with that if your capable

Absolutely no problem with high speed in airspace where it's allowed and the known traffic situation allows.
I'm not sure that mixing it at 330Kts towards the final approach with light aircraft who are not controlled or even on the frequency and are also bumbling around (like I do) is so wise.
Airmanship should be the watchword here.

Bavarian Boy- "if ATC say "no speed" whats the problem?"
The problem is that this phrase does not absolve you from the rules of the air, just telling you that we have no speed requirement from you vs other traffic. We do not have the authority to lift the 250kt restriction in Class E, F or G. Having said that I've yet to hear of SRG lurking around such areas with speed guns so what the penalty might be I'd be curious to know.

The Houston TRACON has had a waiver for the 250kt speed limit since 1997.
They often give us “No Speed limit” or assign a speed higher than 250kts on departure.
I hear the air traffic controllers like it. One told me it gave them more flexibility and “The quicker they go. The quicker they go [away].”
I like it. It makes more sense to fly a jet like a jet should be flown. Accelerate to the most efficient climb speed as soon a possible.
I wish there were more open thinkers in ATC. This could be done in many places. It’s a safe and more efficient way of increasing the departure traffic flow rate.

In class A airspace "NO SPEED" = as fast as you want/think safe
In any other type of airspace "NO SPEED" = max 250 under 10,000.
If you go faster than 250 it is a criminal offence. Would you like to be looking for a job with that sort of record?
