It would seem to me that the maneuvering speed would be more of a concern than VNE but no mention of it yet. I bet that most have exceeded Va and never thought twice about it ??

“On August 09, 2005 N750F, a Lancair IV-P disintegrated in flight in a dive at Mach 0.62. It is not in your list as it happened in Canada (Transport Canada Report A05W0160).

In June of 2003 N29ME, a Lancair IV-P, disintegrated in flight after exceeding 253KTAS (274KIAS). (NTSB Report ATL03LA094)”

It appears that both accident aircraft were being flow in thunderstorms at the time they disintegrated.

Do you suppose that the turbulence associated with thunderstorms may have been a factor in these in-flight breakups?

Just wondering.
