TURBULENT
AIR
OPERATION
ln
keeping
with
good
operating
practice
used
in
all aircraft,
it
is
recom-
mended
that
when
turbulent
air
is
encountered
or
expected, the airspeed
be
reduced
to
maneuvering
speed
to
reduce
the
structural
loads
caused
by
gusts
and
to
allow
for
inadvertent
speed
build-ups
which
may
occur as
a
result
of
the
turbulence
or
of
distractions
caused by
the
conditions.
