What speed should be bugged after reaching acceleration altitude with two engines?

• A. 200 Knots
• B. 180 Knots
• C. 210 Knots
• D. 190 Knots

Answer: (A)

The speed bug you set after reaching acceleration altitude is the target speed for the initial climb with both engines operating. For the CRJ-550 two-engine scenario, 200 knots is the standard acceleration speed chosen to give a safe margin above stall while staying well within the airplane’s climb envelope and away from flap/slat limits. It ensures you can maintain a steady, efficient climb right after acceleration altitude without risking either a slow ascent or a premature over-speed. The other speeds don't align with the recommended climb target: they are either too slow to maintain a solid climb at this phase or too fast for the intended acceleration schedule.
