Narrative:

Clearance received from san jose clearance included 'maintain 250 KTS till advised.' shortly after receiving clearance, I became preoccupied with solving a problem with my oxygen mask microphone and forgot to enter the restr (speed) in the FMS. I briefed the speed restr on the before takeoff briefing, but during the climb we were both extremely busy and the workload was high due to turbulence, icing conditions and moderate rain. Passing through 10000 ft, I cycled the no smoking sign to signal the flight attendants that ped usage was ok (the autoplt was engaged at this time), and did not notice the speed bug increase to approximately 315 KTS. As the aircraft speed was passing through 300 KTS, we were issued 'normal speed' clearance from ATC. We did not appear to cause any conflicts and no comments were passed by ATC. Lesson learned: when issued a speed restr by ATC, enter it in the FMS prior to accomplishing any other task.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: MLG FLC EXCEEDED AIRSPD RESTR DURING DEP CLB. SPD RESTR WAS REMOVED UPON THE CAPT'S DISCOVERING THE MISTAKE.

Narrative: CLRNC RECEIVED FROM SAN JOSE CLRNC INCLUDED 'MAINTAIN 250 KTS TILL ADVISED.' SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING CLRNC, I BECAME PREOCCUPIED WITH SOLVING A PROB WITH MY OXYGEN MASK MIKE AND FORGOT TO ENTER THE RESTR (SPD) IN THE FMS. I BRIEFED THE SPD RESTR ON THE BEFORE TKOF BRIEFING, BUT DURING THE CLB WE WERE BOTH EXTREMELY BUSY AND THE WORKLOAD WAS HIGH DUE TO TURB, ICING CONDITIONS AND MODERATE RAIN. PASSING THROUGH 10000 FT, I CYCLED THE NO SMOKING SIGN TO SIGNAL THE FLT ATTENDANTS THAT PED USAGE WAS OK (THE AUTOPLT WAS ENGAGED AT THIS TIME), AND DID NOT NOTICE THE SPD BUG INCREASE TO APPROX 315 KTS. AS THE ACFT SPD WAS PASSING THROUGH 300 KTS, WE WERE ISSUED 'NORMAL SPD' CLRNC FROM ATC. WE DID NOT APPEAR TO CAUSE ANY CONFLICTS AND NO COMMENTS WERE PASSED BY ATC. LESSON LEARNED: WHEN ISSUED A SPD RESTR BY ATC, ENTER IT IN THE FMS PRIOR TO ACCOMPLISHING ANY OTHER TASK.
