737 MAX Flight Crew Operations Manual
Supplementary Procedures -
Adverse Weather
SP.16.26
MN-FLT-OH-201
Note:
If an approach must be made into an area of severe turbulence,
delay flap extension as long as possible. The airplane can
withstand higher gust loads in the clean configuration.
PHASE OF FLIGHT
AIRSPEED
CLIMB
280 knots or .76 Mach whichever is lower.
CRUISE
Use FMC recommended thrust settings. If the FMC
is inoperative, refer to the Unreliable Airspeed page
in the Performance–Inflight section of the QRH for
approximate N1 settings that maintain near optimum
penetration airspeed.
DESCENT
.76 Mach/280/250 knots whichever is lower. If
severe turbulence is encountered at altitudes below
15,000 feet and the airplane gross weight is less than
the maximum landing weight, the airplane may be
slowed to 250 knots in the clean configuration.
