Hello gents
Thanks for the replies and here are a few clarifications:
- I will not be conducting the test. My flying experience is purely egg whisks where high G was not an issue and I dont fly any more anyway. I work as a systems engineer.
- A qualified ex-mil TP will be conducting the test. How fit and young they all are depends on how much you believe them.
- It is the G indicator, not the accelerometer itself that is being tested. The accelerometer is a known. However we have implemented new G limit warnings in the G indicator of the PFD and wish to give these a simple test (warning comes on 1g before max +ve and -ve G limit).
- The avionics rig is capable of supplying a databus signal to the PFD to simulate the accelerometer, however the rig is not certified and cannot be used for certification credit.
