What is the recommended airspeed for flying through turbulence?

The recommended airspeed for flying through turbulence is typically around 180 KIAS. This airspeed is often referred to as the "turbulence penetration speed." It is chosen for its ability to effectively manage the aircraft's responsiveness and stability during turbulent air conditions. At this speed, the aircraft is better positioned to withstand the forces associated with turbulence, reducing the risk of structural stress and providing a smoother ride for passengers.

Flying at a speed that is too slow might increase the aircraft’s susceptibility to stalling, while going too fast can amplify the stresses exerted on the airframe during turbulence. Therefore, maintaining an airspeed around 180 KIAS allows pilots to navigate through rough air more safely and comfortably.
