Didn't mean to start an issue, but just a question, If you get a PDC or voice clearance (IFR) for a SID, do they have to tell you where to RNAV to in order to do 250KIAS? The plate is the word of ATC so not sure how the RNAV to a fix would change that. I would definitely caution the using ATC to settle the matter. One night I was limited to below 10K due to an MEL'd altitude horn. ATC asked why we were under 10k then said " ok cleared normal speed, high speed cruise at 9,900' ". I won't say what I did next
