What is the maximum speed restriction for VFR aircraft below 10,000 ft in Class CDG airspace?

In Class CDG airspace, VFR (Visual Flight Rules) aircraft are restricted to a maximum speed of 250 knots indicated airspeed (IAS) below 10,000 feet. This speed limit is established to enhance safety by reducing the risk of wake turbulence and to facilitate better separation between aircraft operating at lower altitudes, especially near busy airports.

Furthermore, this regulation aligns with other airspace speed restrictions, ensuring that all aircraft are operating within controlled parameters that help maintain a safe flying environment. This 250 knot limit is a common standard found not only in New Zealand's regulations but also in many other jurisdictions, thereby fostering consistency in airspace usage across various regions.

This restriction helps to maintain efficient air traffic flow and provides additional safety margins when flying in proximity to commercial traffic, which is often operating at similar altitudes. Keeping VFR aircraft within this speed limit contributes to overall situational awareness and mitigates the chances of mid-air collisions.
