Important Note: The limitations data contained on these pages is applicable only to the Boeing 757-200 with Rolls Royce RB211 engines, unless otherwise stated. Although the data is from the Aircraft Flight Manual, errors may be found. The data is also subject to regular updates by operating airlines and the manufacturer and must therefore not be associated with the operation of a real aircraft. ALWAYS refer to your current Aircraft Flight Manual for up-to-date information.
| RUNWAY LIMITATIONS

| Bird Impact Protection
|
From Sea Level to 8,000ft restrict airspeed to 313 kts for Bird Impact Protection. Above 8,000ft, observe Vmo / Mmo pointer and overspeed warning.

| Vmo / Mmo Values
|
Vmo @ MSL - 350 kts / Mmo - 0.86 Mach
|
| Flap Limit Speeds
|
Flap limiting speeds, based on structural considerations are conveniently placarded around the flap position indicator against the relevant setting. Any exceedances of these limits should be recorded in the aircraft Technical Log.
