Cool

Not a combat aircraft? - dont say that around the French!

Nick, What you are saying makes sense, but again I harp on the severity required to enter jack stall in the AS350 (not the 365), I am guessing from experience, but I would say around 3 Gs, or slightly less. As you say - jack stall occurs in or approaching RBS, but that is the point we have been trying to make - why are you flying the aircraft into RBS? Fighter maneuvering aside of course!! Thus the majority opinion was that as it only results from gross misshandling - perhaps calling it a design flaw was a bit over the top. Does this level of severity have to occur during certification? Or do you restrict it to 2 or so Gs as you indicated for the S76?

Lastly, do you think that the RBS under these conditions is a G stall?
