Aircraft Speed.Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft at or below 2,500 feet above the surface within 4 nautical miles of the primary airport of a Class C airspace area at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 knots (230 mph).

To enter Class C airspace, all aircraft must meet the following requirements:
Two-way radio.
Mode-C transponder.
ADS-B Out device.
Establishment of two-way communication with the airspace controller.
(c) No person may operate an aircraft in the airspace underlying a Class B airspace area designated for an airport or in a VFR corridor designated through such a Class B airspace area, at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 knots (230 mph).
Originally Answered: Can commercial airline pilots fly as fast as they want? Short answer - No. Long answer - There are a number of factors that determine the speed at which a commercial aircraft is flown. First, different aircraft have different normal cruise speeds, generally related to the maximum operating speed.
The ceiling of a Class C airspace should be 4,000 feet above the primary airport's field elevation. The surface area extends from the surface to the upper limit of the airspace. The floor of the airspace between the 5 and the 10 NM must extend from no lower than 1,200 feet AGL to the upper limit of the airspace.
Once you hear your callsign, you can enter the Class C airspace. Keep these important facts in mind: If the controller responds with (Aircraft callsign) standby, you have established two-way radio communication, and you can enter Class C airspace. If you don't hear your callsign, you CAN NOT enter the airspace.
Six pilots have ejected at speeds exceeding 700 knots (1,300 km/h; 810 mph). The highest altitude at which a Martin-Baker seat was deployed was 57,000 ft (17,400 m) (from a Canberra bomber in 1958).
Ejecting from a plane takes no more than four seconds from the time the ejection handle is pulled. The exact amount of time depends on the seat model and the crewmember's body weight. Pulling the ejection handle on a seat sets off an explosive cartridge in the catapult gun, launching the ejection seat into the air.
