TURBULENT AIR PENETRATION
Adjust airspeed and disconnect the autothrottle. Set thrust for
penetration and avoid large thrust variations. Set trim for target speed
and do not change it.
Use attitude indicator as the primary instrument. Allow altitude and
airspeed to vary and maintain attitude. Avoid abrupt and large control
inputs.
NOTE: Do not extend flaps except for approach and landing.
The maximum recommended turbulence air penetration speed can be
obtained from the following chart.
