I fly a lot of SJC trips. On the TECKY 3 Departure; there is a speed restriction of MAX 230 KT at both STCLR and MLPTS. Both of these fixes are beneath the SFO Class B airspace. FAR 91.117(c) states: No person may operate an aircraft in the airspace underlying a Class B airspace area designated for an airport or in a VFR corridor designated through such a Class B airspace area; at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 knots (230 mph). I am confused as to why Jeppesen publishes the speed restriction of MAX 230 KT at those two fixes. It seems like an invitation for crews to violate FAR 91.117(c). I think there should be some note in the SJC 10-7 or Jeppesen and FAA should remove the speed restriction notes.
Large Transport aircraft Captain reported the speed published on the TECKY THREE (RNAV) SID at waypoints STCLR and MLPTS beneath SFO Class B airspace is greater than 200 knots; thus violating FAR 91.117.
