Here's one more misconception. An aircraft G meter measures CN, the coefficient of normal acceleration. "Normal" means on the aircraft normal axis. In a steady climb although the aircraft is experiencing 1g the element on the normal axis is less than 1g. In a vertical climb the G meter will register zero
