As far as flying in the US goes, I believe FAR §91.117 talks about it.

AirRabbit,
Fair point! I suppose 'clear and concise' and 'legislation' shouldn't really have been in the same sentence! Basic grammar really!!
ICTZ,
I'm of the opinion that you have hit the proverbial nail on it's head.
I have yet to see a case of the inbound speed restriction in the FMGC (seen in a vertical revision on the arrival airfield) being different from the outbound restriction from the same airport (vert revision on departure airfield). To my mind that means that it is most likely assumed to be the same either to simplify database updates or because the FMGC can't handle different speed restrictions for one airport depending on whther your inbound or outbound or something like that.
Spot on!

It is up to the professional pilot to be aware of what sort of airspace he/she is flying through.
Its CAVOK at all ports tomorrow, so I will be clean shortly after 3000 AGL and climb at 320 into .78 and fly .78 into 320 until 9 miles to touchdown. Why slow down before the aeroplane needs to, unless the traffic/weather/situational awareness dictates otherwise? Wasting your company's money if you are.
