Multiple Choice

Approve a pilot's request to cross Class C or D surface areas at a speed that does not exceed ___ knots, unless a higher minimum speed is required.

Explanation:
The rule being tested is the standard speed limit in most busy terminal areas: do not exceed 250 knots indicated airspeed when operating in or crossing beneath Class C or D airspace, particularly near the surface. This keeps traffic well separated and gives ATC enough time to manage arrivals and departures safely. You should comply with ATC if they assign a higher minimum speed for sequencing or flow, but absent such instruction, 250 knots is the limit. Slower speeds would be acceptable, but speeds above this without ATC approval would not be appropriate.
