Getting overspeeding messages at 235 knots?

I’m flying the Q-400 from CYYZ to CYOW and I’m at 235 knots at 27,000 ft, but I get the overspeed thing… Any advice?

Looks like those 109 knot winds gotcha. Winds can increase the speed of your aircraft. That looks like your issue. I would climb to a higher altitude.

That aircraft has a lower max speed. You were overspeeding in that aircraft

You’ve reached the maximum speed the aircraft can safely fly, which happens to be below 250 knots.

The ceiling surface of the dash 8 is 25000 feet so since you were at 270, and ur tailwind would cause that

This is the correct information that should have been given. 😉
