Narrative:

Exceeded 250 KTS below 10000 ft. Did not follow company procedures with regard to bank angle and pitch. Problem arose due to very poor support by company on departure and traffic conflict. Aircraft was overweight by 7000 pounds; and had to return to gate to offload freight. Flight attendants were angry about the meal situation (was not corrected). Dispatch was very slow to respond to captain's requests and did not provide good information. Load planning was very slow in providing weights. The cockpit atmosphere was very tense. After many delays (company induced) we were cleared for takeoff. The distrs on the ground were carried into flight. I exceeded 250 KTS; over-banked the aircraft; handled the aircraft very abruptly and the proceeded to fly too slow. While attempting to follow a SID; looked for traffic; and complied with the captain's directions. Once clear of traffic; I got over the distrs from the ground and resumed the proper profile. To prevent this in the future; focus -- ground distrs must be left on the ground.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A B777 FO RPTS EXCEEDING 250 KTS BELOW 10000 FT; EXCEEDING BANK ANGLE LIMITS; AND ROUGH ACFT HANDLING FOLLOWING EXTENSIVE ACR INDUCED GND DELAYS.

Narrative: EXCEEDED 250 KTS BELOW 10000 FT. DID NOT FOLLOW COMPANY PROCS WITH REGARD TO BANK ANGLE AND PITCH. PROB AROSE DUE TO VERY POOR SUPPORT BY COMPANY ON DEP AND TFC CONFLICT. ACFT WAS OVERWEIGHT BY 7000 LBS; AND HAD TO RETURN TO GATE TO OFFLOAD FREIGHT. FLT ATTENDANTS WERE ANGRY ABOUT THE MEAL SIT (WAS NOT CORRECTED). DISPATCH WAS VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO CAPT'S REQUESTS AND DID NOT PROVIDE GOOD INFO. LOAD PLANNING WAS VERY SLOW IN PROVIDING WTS. THE COCKPIT ATMOSPHERE WAS VERY TENSE. AFTER MANY DELAYS (COMPANY INDUCED) WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF. THE DISTRS ON THE GND WERE CARRIED INTO FLT. I EXCEEDED 250 KTS; OVER-BANKED THE ACFT; HANDLED THE ACFT VERY ABRUPTLY AND THE PROCEEDED TO FLY TOO SLOW. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW A SID; LOOKED FOR TFC; AND COMPLIED WITH THE CAPT'S DIRECTIONS. ONCE CLR OF TFC; I GOT OVER THE DISTRS FROM THE GND AND RESUMED THE PROPER PROFILE. TO PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE; FOCUS -- GND DISTRS MUST BE LEFT ON THE GND.
