Narrative:

Having dropped off passenger, we were to dead-head the aircraft back to home base and we were using quick turnaround procedures. First officer copied clearance as I paid landing fees and arranged passenger transport. I reboarded aircraft which now had both engines running, and as I buckled up in right-hand seat, first officer began taxiing per our taxi clearance to runway 3C. I began to perform checklists and as we arrived at runway we were cleared into position, followed by takeoff clearance. I glanced only quickly at the clearance, making a bad assumption that the departure was the typical radar vector, and 'here's a frequency' departure. I glanced only quickly at the chart, set the departure frequencys and course, and we departed. Upon level off at 10000' assigned, we allowed the aircraft to accelerate above our climb speed of 250 KTS, when the controller stated, 'light transport, you're supposed to be at 250 KTS,' to which I replied, 'I'm sorry sir, but we did not receive a 250 KT restriction.' he responded, 'I'm sorry, I guess I failed to issue it.' I then began to think, and upon checking the departure we were cleared on, I saw the restriction to maintain 250 KTS. Another classic case of gear up and locked, head up and locked!! I do think the speed restrictions should be more prominently displayed on the departure charts when it is to be a part of a SID; i.e., prominently displayed top/center of chart--with frequencys--or perhaps printed all the way around the rim. I'll certainly be more diligent about checking for speed restrictions on SID's in the future.

Title: PLT EXCEEDED PUBLISHED SPEED RESTRICTION ON ASSIGNED SID.

Narrative: HAVING DROPPED OFF PAX, WE WERE TO DEAD-HEAD THE ACFT BACK TO HOME BASE AND WE WERE USING QUICK TURNAROUND PROCS. F/O COPIED CLRNC AS I PAID LNDG FEES AND ARRANGED PAX TRANSPORT. I REBOARDED ACFT WHICH NOW HAD BOTH ENGS RUNNING, AND AS I BUCKLED UP IN RIGHT-HAND SEAT, F/O BEGAN TAXIING PER OUR TAXI CLRNC TO RWY 3C. I BEGAN TO PERFORM CHKLISTS AND AS WE ARRIVED AT RWY WE WERE CLRED INTO POS, FOLLOWED BY TKOF CLRNC. I GLANCED ONLY QUICKLY AT THE CLRNC, MAKING A BAD ASSUMPTION THAT THE DEP WAS THE TYPICAL RADAR VECTOR, AND 'HERE'S A FREQ' DEP. I GLANCED ONLY QUICKLY AT THE CHART, SET THE DEP FREQS AND COURSE, AND WE DEPARTED. UPON LEVEL OFF AT 10000' ASSIGNED, WE ALLOWED THE ACFT TO ACCELERATE ABOVE OUR CLB SPD OF 250 KTS, WHEN THE CTLR STATED, 'LTT, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT 250 KTS,' TO WHICH I REPLIED, 'I'M SORRY SIR, BUT WE DID NOT RECEIVE A 250 KT RESTRICTION.' HE RESPONDED, 'I'M SORRY, I GUESS I FAILED TO ISSUE IT.' I THEN BEGAN TO THINK, AND UPON CHKING THE DEP WE WERE CLRED ON, I SAW THE RESTRICTION TO MAINTAIN 250 KTS. ANOTHER CLASSIC CASE OF GEAR UP AND LOCKED, HEAD UP AND LOCKED!! I DO THINK THE SPD RESTRICTIONS SHOULD BE MORE PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED ON THE DEP CHARTS WHEN IT IS TO BE A PART OF A SID; I.E., PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED TOP/CENTER OF CHART--WITH FREQS--OR PERHAPS PRINTED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE RIM. I'LL CERTAINLY BE MORE DILIGENT ABOUT CHKING FOR SPD RESTRICTIONS ON SID'S IN THE FUTURE.
