OK everyone knows that below 10,000ft the speed limit is 250KTS....then 200 within lateral boundaries and c-g airports But what if you are inbound and decending through 10,000 ft to a class b airport at 250kts with a tailwind....and your ground speed is 268-270 kts.....will you be in violation? I assume controllers in class B can tell you how fast you are going on radar...so would you fly according to IAS or GS? would you decrease airspeed speed to compensate for the ground speed? (Not too slow.....) Do some Pilots do this for "just in case" or what do you do? never happened to me but it's just a question....thanks.
