good operating practice
used in all aircraft, it is
recom-

when
turbulent
air
is
encountered
or
expected, the airspeed
be
reduced
to maneuvering speed to
reduce the structural
loads
caused
by gusts

to allow
for
inadvertent
speed
build-ups which may
occur as a
result of
the turbulence
or of
distractions
caused by
the conditions.
