But the structure fails at a certain load, not load factor.
Are any of these aircrafts fitted with a basic acceleromater as the ones fitted in aerobatic aircrafts ?, Trainers have the standard +6G -4G units that have the possibility to wire lock and seal the reset button.
Any overloads passed certified ones for the type with a red line on both positive and negative G's limits would thus be saved for safety purposes
