TUBBULENCE PENETRATION 737/280KTS/m.76
Hi Guys
I have a question. When we encounter severe turbulence in the cruise we follow boeings turbulence penetration technique. i.e cws pitch (do not use ALT HOLD), maintain wings level and the desired pitch attitude. Do not chase the airspeed or the altitude. Disengage the A/T and set the turbulence N1 from the cruise page in the FMC.
What is our target airspeed when encountering severe turbulence in the cruise?? I was under the impression that 280kts/.76 provided the aircraft with optimal turbulence penetration regarding wingloading.
