Below is a paragraph I read in a aviation book. I am interested to understand this paragraph further.
Maneuvering speed is 145 knots for airplane ABC. At 25,000 feet true airspeed is 200 knots and 134 knots indicated of which is 11 knots below maneuvering speed of 145 knots. During a turbulence encounter, the aircraft would not have the stall protection it has a lower altitudes. Above 25,000 feet, indicated airspeed and the available stall margin become significantly less. The obvious solution is to descend.
Maneuvering speed is 145 knots for Cessna 414. At 25,000 feet true airspeed is 200 knots and 134 knots indicated of which is 11 knots below maneuvering speed of 145 knots.
During a turbulence encounter, the aircraft would not have the stall protection it has a lower altitudes. (I assume author is implying since the air is very thin/less dense at/above 25,000 feet the airplane must be flown at a higher AOA to maintain acceptable lift of which does result in being closer to the critical AOA). Please explain further??
