Its actually 75KM but there is an +/- factor in the limit. At 78.5KM the autoflight takes over and announces, "Je l'ai vous imbécile stupide. Je suis le capitaine maintenant and je débarquerai l'avion." which roughly translates to "I have it you stupid imbecile. I am the captain now and I will land the airplane."
