 ā€œ I want to know how many have slowed their 320/360 to Va (143 KIAS) in turbulence?  Come on, raise your hands if you do that.... OK, I only see 2 or 3 hands.ā€

 

Based near Denver, rotor turbulence is likely whenever winds aloft are up. I routinely maintain my 360 at 140 mph indicated with a small flap deflection wherever rotor is a possibility. I have been kicked around a number of times and was glad not to be going faster.

 

I just imagine Iā€™m flying a 172 flat out.
