Answer for screen readers
In the event of an explosive charge onboard, the commander should consider flying the aircraft as slowly as possible.
More Information
Flying slowly minimizes air-loads and potential damage to the aircraft, especially if there's a risk of fuselage rupture.
Tips
Students may confuse the procedure for turbulence with the procedure for an explosive device. During turbulence you normally fly at or below turbulence penetration speed which is faster than flying as slowly as possible.
