Thanks for the replies...
So if that's the case, if flying tru severe chops or inside huge CB's, do we slow down to Va or Vra? Since Vra > Va there are chances of structural damage to the airplane before it stalls especially with the severe up and downdraught.
Or is it if we are jsut crusing tru we do a Vra or if we were to alter our heading we are to reduce to Va first before turning?
