My understanding is For Example, you do a 6+ gz from level to get a clean vertical, but initiate the roll *before* you achieve the vertical line, an inelegant example, however the same applies on vertical downline if you "hurry" the rolls, and watch the speedo, it's not good to be rolling and pulling out at the same time with speed in the yellow arc (or near vne) and having ground aversion.
Right. Now I understand what was meant by "rolling Gs". I've heard it called "assymetric" because you load the airframe differently across the axes. I suppose it can be a problem if taken to extremes but if kept within the load limits of the aircraft, this shouldn't weight too heavily on anyone's mind, I'd have thought.
