An aircraft G meter measures CN, the coefficient of normal acceleration. "Normal" means on the aircraft normal axis.
So, does it mean that on takeoff acceleration and landing braking deceleration, the G meter will register 1,0, because the aircraft vertical speed and acceleration are zero and the accelerations along fuselage are not counted? And that during steady horizontal cruise in a slightly nose-up attitude, the g meter will register less than 1,0?
