On the Legs page, how is an 'At or above' airspeed constraint entered?

In the Legs page, speed constraints use a suffix to indicate whether the value is a minimum or maximum. The letter A after the number means “at or above,” so entering 250A communicates a minimum speed of 250 knots. This is how you specify an at-or-above constraint clearly to the system. The other patterns don’t fit this purpose: a B suffix would imply a constraint of at or below, which is the opposite of what you want for an at-or-above requirement; no suffix would leave the type of constraint ambiguous; and a prefix would not align with the page’s input convention. So the correct way is to use a suffix A after the speed, as in 250A.
