It'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).
