Narrative:

My captain was flying and I was running checklists and scanning traffic. We had been given a 280 KT speed at a higher altitude, and then we were cleared to a lower altitude below 10000 ft MSL. ATC queried our speed and the captain then corrected because he had exceeded 250 KTS. Supplemental information from acn 598818: allowed airspeed to build up to approximately 270 KTS after leveling while looking for traffic. I attribute my error mostly to little flying time in the last 3 months.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A CL65 FLT CREW EXCEEDS THE 250 KT SPD LIMIT UNDER 10000 FT.

Narrative: MY CAPT WAS FLYING AND I WAS RUNNING CHKLISTS AND SCANNING TFC. WE HAD BEEN GIVEN A 280 KT SPD AT A HIGHER ALT, AND THEN WE WERE CLRED TO A LOWER ALT BELOW 10000 FT MSL. ATC QUERIED OUR SPD AND THE CAPT THEN CORRECTED BECAUSE HE HAD EXCEEDED 250 KTS. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 598818: ALLOWED AIRSPD TO BUILD UP TO APPROX 270 KTS AFTER LEVELING WHILE LOOKING FOR TFC. I ATTRIBUTE MY ERROR MOSTLY TO LITTLE FLYING TIME IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS.
