To me it's impressive how fast he still responds after losing consciousness. If you've ever fainted, there's this period where you don't know where you are or even WHO you are, let alone being able to fly a plane.
- kbart 10y agoTrue, but that's what reflexes are for.
- dtparr 10y agoIt's probably fortunate that the GCAS had already rolled him back, otherwise the reflex to "pull up" would have been disastrous.
- gcp 10y agoWould it have overruled the pilot input if that would have been the case?
- AstralStorm 10y agoNo, this system only countermands order to fly into ground, not other high G manoeuvres. The 9 G would probably end up snapping wings or in an uncontrolled roll.
- trentnelson 10y agoF-16s are G-limited to 9G. You can happily pull 9G day in, day out. The actual G loading the plane is certified for would be much, much higher than this (probably at least double).
