IAH speed

[4.0atRIDDLE]

Is IAH still above 250k below 10,000 feet? If so, do you need ATC to tell you to do it? Anything else to know about for IAH (arrivals/departures)? First time going in.

stopped it a long time ago riddle

There is a chance, this program may be reinstated in the future, and not just at IAH>

When I was up flying a few weeks ago (IAH area), I heard a controller saying something about bringing that program back online.

So what are some gotchas for going in to IAH? Are there any crazy RNAV arrivals or departures?

 

[rjacobs]

Nope, nothing fancy about going into IAH.

It is just like any other airport.

 

[regionalcap]

Just look over the airport diagram beforehand. A lot of the taxiways have double letters. It can be a long taxi sometimes.

Approach "XXX, say speed"
Me "ahhh...250"
Approach "Why is your 250, 30 knots faster than everyone else's 250?"
Me " Divine wind "
Approach " XXX, Slow to 220"

Dangit, they get me every time.

Sorry Riddle, nobody's gonna ask you. Good!

So what happens if you exceed 250kts under 10,000? Do you get a virtual violation?

 

[yournextFO]

250 under 10,000 doesn't really save you all that much time anyway...

Hey...4.Doh!@Pittle:
Isn't there a flight sim forum for you?

I mean really, couldn't you just fly in there at any dang speed you wanted? It's a game, for the love of Methuselah.

Doesn't Riddle offer a class covering this question. You should know this.

 

[ERfly]

The big "gotchas" at IAH on the arrivals are the speeds. Watch out for those. They are mandatory, e.g. EXPECT STROS AT 10,000 CROSS AT 250. ATC will sometimes slow you or assign you a speed, then give you "normal speed." They like to do this on the RIICE arrival a lot. "Normal speed" still means CROSS BRKMN AT 250. It's screwed several guys up. They've stopped doing it for the most part, but some guys will still do it. Unless you hear "Delete the speed," they need the speed on the arrival.
