For which types of flights and in which airspace classes does the 250 kt speed limitation apply?

The 250 kt speed limitation applies to VFR flights in airspace Classes C, D, E, F, G and to IFR flights in airspace Classes D, E, F, G.

Is there any applicability date stated in this section?

No, the section does not state any applicability date.

Q: What is the intended purpose of the 250 kt speed limitation for VFR flights in airspace Classes C, D, E, F, G?

The speed limitation is intended to facilitate visual acquisition of flights which are not separated.

Q: What are the two methods mentioned for accommodating operations compatible with a less restrictive class within a given airspace class?

The two methods are: (1) reclassification of the airspace concerned; (2) redesigning the volume of airspace concerned by defining airspace restrictions or reservations, or subvolumes of less restrictive classes of airspace (e.g. corridors).

GENERAL

(a) Class B airspace is considered less restrictive than Class A airspace; Class C airspace less restrictive than Class B airspace, etc.

(b) The speed limitation of 250 kt for VFR flights in airspace Classes C, D, E, F, G and for IFR flights in airspace Classes D, E, F, G is intended to facilitate visual acquisition of flights which are not separated.

(c) Wherever there is a need to accommodate within a given airspace class operations compatible with a less restrictive class, the following may be used:

(1) reclassification of the airspace concerned;

(2) redesigning the volume of airspace concerned by defining airspace restrictions or reservations, or subvolumes of less restrictive classes of airspace (e.g. corridors).
