The airspeed limitation below 10000 feet is an ATC restriction. It is designed to enable safe flow of dense departing and arriving traffic. It
is not universal and many exceptions exist, but it is common and used by FS ATC throughout. . You know about it by referring to local
procedures and charts. There is no need to request FSP clearance for this above 10000, since the restriction doesn't exist.
In more detail about real aviation, airport arrival procedures and charts utilize points named SLP's (mandatory slow down point to
250KIAS), some reached above 10000 feet. Additional airspeed restrictions exist for departure and arrival, depending on local
procedures.

Hey Everyone.
What are the factors that determine if I can go above 250 Kts or if I have to stay below.
I don't know why the co-pilot said that the call was rejected, its not storming or anything!
I am at 15,000 feet and im looking at a 3 hr 30 minute flight :/
