Manuevering Speed
VA is defined for evaluating aircraft structural design. At or below this speed, Boeing aircraft are capable of sustaining a single input to any set of control surfaces to their maximum available authority. These control surface inputs are to be in one axis and do not include control input reversal or oscillatory inputs.
Even at speeds below VA, transport category aircraft should be flown judicioulsy, avoaiding full or abrupt control movements.
Turbulence Penetration Speed can be used as a rough approximation for VA

Evacuation Systems
Any time passengers are on board, prior to aicraft movement, at least one floor level exit must be open or armed.
On revenue flights, the escape slide retention bar (girt bar) must be inserted in the brackets on all doors during taxi, takeoff, and landing.
Overwater Operations
