Q

Just because the parking brake is on, does this guarantee that there is sufficient hydraulic pressure to check the Brake wear indicators?

A

No - you can look at the STATUS page and look at EMER ACCU pressures for SYS 1 and SYS 2.

Q

ATC reports moderate and possibly greater turbulence ahead. What’s turbulent air penetration speed? Is it a target or a maximum speed?

A

250 below 10 or 270/.76. Normally it is more comfortable to slow when encountering turbulence. In some cases it may be necessary to accelerate to turbulent air penetration. This speed provides a margin between stall and structural damage.
Flight through severe turbulence must be avoided. When not possible, reduce altitude to
increase buffet margin.
