Problem with trying to out climb weather, is you get too high for the "G" protection of the A/C.1.3VS. minimum,. or in the FL310/330 max depending on weight and temp of course, you get good "G" protection. As long as you penetrate below max turbulence speed, the A/C should hold together. A/C are build strong!. Sure you're in for a rough ride but stall out and you're in trouble, as was mentioned above..<br /><br />Oh the Commander should be in His/Her seat, not in the bunk, segregated or otherwise, negotiating thunderstorms and or the ITCZ.
