Implications of.....keeping the speed up

Regarding the 2500 foot rule, it's prefaced by something like "unless
authorized or required by ATC...". If ATC says to keep your speed up, I
would say that counts as an authorization to keep your speed up.


Nope. ATC does not overide the FAR's. The pilot is always responsible
for not busting the speed limit.
