My questions are more along the maintenance line:

Since the structural load cycles between 0.0 and 1.8G several times per flight, is each parabola counted as a flight cycle?

Does engine oil pressure drop due to pump cavitation, and are the bearings tolerant of brief loss of cooling flow of oil; or is there a positive feed mod?
