It is also probable that this maneuver was not part of the flight loads survey,and thus probable that the associated flight loads are unknown, but absent the centrifugal forces associated with the normal NR power on range, it is probable that they are quite high. Aside from Frank’s caniption,there is also some probability of receiving some troubling opinion from the Robinson mothership.
