What is the speed limit for aircraft below 10,000 feet in Mexico?

The correct speed limit for aircraft operating below 10,000 feet in Mexico is 250 knots. This regulation is established to ensure safe air navigation and to minimize the risk of collisions with other aircraft that may be operating in the same airspace.

This limit is consistent with practices in many regions around the world, including the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Pilots are required to observe this limitation to maintain a safe and manageable environment in lower altitudes where air traffic tends to be denser, particularly near airports.

In contrast, speeds above this limit can create challenges in terms of control and situational awareness, as well as increase the risk of noise complaints from communities located near flight paths. Thus, enforcing a speed limit at this altitude contributes to both safety and community relations.
