"Severe turbulence techniques"
Technique #1: Avoid at all cost!
if you mess up Technique #1, move quickly to Technique #2 and #3.
Technique #2: Slow to appropriate turbulence penetration speed for your wt. Dropping the gear will slow you quickly. Who gives a rat's arse about the gear doors!
Technique #3: Keep the wings level and try to maintain S & L attitude with smooth movements of the controls. Don't concern yourself with altitude unless you are in danger of hitting something.
If #2 and #3 fail, move on to #4.
Technique #4: Stick your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye, while yelling "Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark" at the top of your voice.
Having tangled with a standing wave over Cunningham's Gap in Southern Qld, I can vouche for the effectiveness of #2 and #3.
I have yet to test #4.
