BHS239:

I’m quite sure there are differences in certification requirements (don’t have the regs handy right now). But the overall stress for the aircraft (turbulence vs. manoeuvering) is NOT the same. Manoeuvering means pilot-induced loads via the control surfaces, which is not considered in turbulence, at least for certification. So if you have a published turbulence speed, stick to it rather than getting close to stalling.

happy landings
