So in the case of turbulence in my case, or in your case severe turbulence you would accelerate to the turbulence penetration speed? Where would that be referenced?
Many thanks
Don’t know what type you are flying, but considering the usual range of Vs1g across the modern narrow/wide body airliners currently flying around the globe, in order to g-buffet or g-stall the aircraft at 270 kias you would need to hit a g-load close to or more likely exceeding the airplane structural limitation, which would mean more than severe turbulence. We are obviously talking about medium to low altitude handling, I.e. well within the subsonic regime.
