Forgive me if I am speaking out of turn, as I am unfamiliar with Hercs, but how does the fact that the cockpit accelerometer reads 0.2g less than the Airframe accelerometer mean that it is inaccurate??

Surely if this is the case there would not be one fitted?

On the Tornado, there are 3 banks of readings, each from a different area of the fuselage which each give a different reading. Which one is the accurate one?????

Tornados, Harriers, Jaguars all have seperate Cockpit and Airframe 'g' meters, and the readings from both are recorded by the groundcrew, and entered into the F700 for fatigue monitoring purposes, and there is rarely a discernible difference between the two.

As for your explanation that this is merely the needles "Jumping about", what a load of horsecr4p. If this were the case, according to Newtons laws of gravity, upon sustaining a heavy landing, the needles would be deflected downward under their own weight, thus showing a NEGATIVE reading, as opposed to a 4g positive reading.

Had a heavy landing and tried bullsh1t your way out of it before US Herk?
