Procedure; Airspace Structure; Chart Or Publication; Manuals
We were filed on the BMRNG SID by Dispatch. However; the active runway changed to Runway 30R; and ATC cleared us via the TEKKY 5 to TEKKY; direct SJC; then BMRNG; flight plan route; maintain 5000 ft. When we were cleared for takeoff; ATC advised us to climb and maintain 4500 ft. Thought this was odd. The TEKKY Sid shows a maximum speed of 230 kts. at the first turn point. However this may be under the SFO Class B airspace. According to the ATC liaison; we cannot exceed 200 kts. We may not fly at our minimum maneuvering speed below the Class B. This needs clarification. The SID is apparently constructed for airspace compliance and track; not for flight below Class B airspace. We need to publish guidance for our pilots on what speed they need to fly and until what point.
An Air Carrier pilot reported a SID speed which is published at 230 kts even though the route is below Class B Airspace causes confusion.
