Narrative:
The jeppesen kritr 1 RNAV SID at kclt has a 'speed restriction' box. The speed restriction box states 'upon reaching 10;000 feet accelerate to and maintain 280 KIAS; if unable advise ATC.' it then in the same box states next 'charlotte/douglas international only; accelerate to 250 KIAS; if unable; advise ATC.' this is confusing. Prior to reaching 10;000 feet we asked charlotte departure what airspeed they were expecting us to maintain above 10;000 feet to clarify. The air traffic controller stated '280 knots' we maintained the correct speed of 280 KIAS. Problem solved for us; but this ambiguous statement could cause someone else to make an error.
