Narrative:
30 NM south of ict, 10000 ft, planning for a runway 19R approach. Ict approach asked if we would like runway 1L for arrival since no one else was in the ict pattern. Winds checked, we could comply with a 5 KT tailwind, but we needed to expedite descent to get to runway 1L ILS. First officer was heads down. I was cleared to 3000 ft, airspeed 300 KTS. Initiated idle power descent, forgetting to reselect 250 KTS on fmp. Therefore, exceeding speed below 10000 ft. Leveled off as quickly as possible, speed brake extended, slowing to 250 KTS, then, continuing descent for uneventful visual approach to ict runway 1L. Lessons learned: both pilots were heads down at critical event point. Late night VFR approach with change from original runway, as well as hurry up and expedite altitude loss vice caution and better planned arrival. Both pilots were not being cautious after a long day and late night arrival.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN F100 CAPT, DURING APCH TO ICT, ADMITTED THAT HE EXCEEDED 250 KTS BELOW 10000 FT.
Narrative: 30 NM S OF ICT, 10000 FT, PLANNING FOR A RWY 19R APCH. ICT APCH ASKED IF WE WOULD LIKE RWY 1L FOR ARR SINCE NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE ICT PATTERN. WINDS CHKED, WE COULD COMPLY WITH A 5 KT TAILWIND, BUT WE NEEDED TO EXPEDITE DSCNT TO GET TO RWY 1L ILS. FO WAS HEADS DOWN. I WAS CLRED TO 3000 FT, AIRSPD 300 KTS. INITIATED IDLE PWR DSCNT, FORGETTING TO RESELECT 250 KTS ON FMP. THEREFORE, EXCEEDING SPD BELOW 10000 FT. LEVELED OFF AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, SPD BRAKE EXTENDED, SLOWING TO 250 KTS, THEN, CONTINUING DSCNT FOR UNEVENTFUL VISUAL APCH TO ICT RWY 1L. LESSONS LEARNED: BOTH PLTS WERE HEADS DOWN AT CRITICAL EVENT POINT. LATE NIGHT VFR APCH WITH CHANGE FROM ORIGINAL RWY, AS WELL AS HURRY UP AND EXPEDITE ALT LOSS VICE CAUTION AND BETTER PLANNED ARR. BOTH PLTS WERE NOT BEING CAUTIOUS AFTER A LONG DAY AND LATE NIGHT ARR.
