Speed under 10,000 ft

I know the speed should be below 250 kts under 10,000ft. However, when I saw the flight track log in Flightaware the filght’s speed is over 250 kts under 10,000ft.
what is the problem here?

This is most likely measured in ground speed as there is no clear indication 😉

I see. That makes sense. Thank you!

First of all, the measurements aren’t always accurate, second, the speed limit doesn’t apply to all aircraft, and airports in the real world. Some airports might have a special departure and procedure that have different speed limit for certain altitude. Hope this can help you! >_^
