Can anyone estimate the neg G that could be experienced from the traces posted in this thread.
I tried to guesstimate the negative g forces, but that would require the exact time interval from the traces, which is not entirely clear:
1g would take the aircraft from 6000ft to ground in 19 seconds (sqrt(6000/16))
2g would take the aircraft from 6000ft to ground in 14 seconds (sqrt(6000/32))
