slow down below Va

Please do keep in mind that Va is not, necessarily, the simplistic animal that most pilots are taught to believe it is. For most light aircraft, it may relate to some level of stall protection against excessive normal load factor in turbulence but that is not a guarantee by any means - you really need to know the certification basis for the particular Type to find out what the story might be.

As the use of Vo gains more penetration into the Industry, this problem will reduce .... but that is going to take some considerable time.
