Narrative:

Making loupe departure sjc. After turn to 120 degree heading, first officer put aircraft on autoplt. Used performance mode (advanced cockpit). We had previously been cleared to maintain 250 KTS until further advised. Out of 10000 ft aircraft in performance mode began to accelerate to normal performance climb speed. Performance mode had not been programmed for 250 KT climb speed. I caught airspeed going through 275 KTS, disconnected performance mode and the rest of the climb and departure was made at 250 KTS in IAS mode. As the new first officer's come out of training they use the advanced cockpit modes almost exclusively. (This is because of FAA insistence in training.) a little experience in plain ole' flying and airplane would be very helpful. Too much reliance on automatic system is going to burn you sooner or later.

Title: AIRSPD DEV ON SID DEP.

Narrative: MAKING LOUPE DEP SJC. AFTER TURN TO 120 DEG HDG, FO PUT ACFT ON AUTOPLT. USED PERFORMANCE MODE (ADVANCED COCKPIT). WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CLRED TO MAINTAIN 250 KTS UNTIL FURTHER ADVISED. OUT OF 10000 FT ACFT IN PERFORMANCE MODE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO NORMAL PERFORMANCE CLB SPD. PERFORMANCE MODE HAD NOT BEEN PROGRAMMED FOR 250 KT CLB SPD. I CAUGHT AIRSPD GOING THROUGH 275 KTS, DISCONNECTED PERFORMANCE MODE AND THE REST OF THE CLB AND DEP WAS MADE AT 250 KTS IN IAS MODE. AS THE NEW FO'S COME OUT OF TRAINING THEY USE THE ADVANCED COCKPIT MODES ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. (THIS IS BECAUSE OF FAA INSISTENCE IN TRAINING.) A LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN PLAIN OLE' FLYING AND AIRPLANE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. TOO MUCH RELIANCE ON AUTO SYS IS GOING TO BURN YOU SOONER OR LATER.
