'BA' all good & well but there is no defined 'trigger' for what constitutes the requirement for reduced speed due turbulence. You mention via a training organisation light, medium & heavy. That's fine I guess you could break it down to 3 cats but what are they to you, to me or others, they might be nothing like what you have added here. Pilots vary & so does a turb speeds application. Unlike a Vlg speed a "no 2 ways about it" speed I find Turb speed "hairy fairy".

I am just curious as to what others use as a guide for the application of Turb, not a specific formula which can't be applied here due individual perceptions/decisions.
The ref to the C210 having a weak wing att is just my opinion, I used to work on planes & found them to be under-engineered, obviously not so but again just my opinion.
Yr right tho no flaps when flying a Cessna, that much can be done from the 1 hr pilot to the 10000 hr pilot, the rest is guess work believe.
