Hello IPACS Team,
I would like to report a possible VNAV/FMS issue affecting multiple Boeing aircraft.
During climb with LNAV, VNAV, and autothrottle engaged, the aircraft initially accelerates normally above 10,000 ft to around 300–310 knots. However, shortly afterward, the FMC/autopilot commands the aircraft back to 250 knots and keeps it there even during higher-altitude climb and cruise phases.
This eventually causes the autopilot to pitch up aggressively while attempting to maintain altitude, resulting in severe speed decay and near-stall conditions at higher altitudes.
I first noticed this issue in the Boeing 777, but after testing the Boeing 747 on different routes, the same behavior still occurs. This suggests the problem may not be route-specific or aircraft-specific, but instead related to VNAV/FMS logic in general.
Additional observations:
- LEGS page does not show any visible 250-knot speed restriction
- Autothrottle remains active
- The issue occurs repeatedly on different routes
Possible causes:
- VNAV speed management bug
- FMC incorrectly maintaining below-10,000-ft speed restriction logic
- Hidden or incorrectly interpreted speed constraints
- Climb profile/autopilot issue affecting Boeing aircraft
Thank you for your continued work on the simulator.I have attached the image of the route which I was flying.

I first though it might be a mistake by me so I tried the copilot but it still persisted.
