200 KIAS below class "B"

[Cpt Oveur]

speaking from experience, you can still get a letter if the controller asks you pick it back up to 250, the controller will also get a letter in his box. Controllers can be monitored or given a "checkride" from a supervisor who is sitting in his office on the other side of the building. There are no letters of agreement between ATC facilities or exceptions to the FAR restricting 250 below a Bravo shelf.

If a road or other geographic landmark is a border, like Orlando, it's a lot harder to determine your position if in IMC. I've had that happen to me departing Orlando Exec to the west. However, my JAX center friends have told me that when in doubt, you can literally just ask if you are below the shelf or not.

Why not just do the easy thing and fly at 200 KIAS until clear of all Class B?

You must not fly into Class B very often.... Slow down and you will get yelled at. They expect you to do 250.

My comment wasn't clear. I was referring to operating below Class B and with in the lateral limits. No controller should expect you to exceed 200 kts at that point. And I operate in and out of Class B daily.
