HN39, I looked at the second graph, and see that toward the right side, there are vertical velocities up to 13,000 fpm. I gather that you have integrated the whole postulated flight path so that the end time works out the same as the real deal.

I also interpret all the acceleration figures to be relative to the surface of the earth. Have you worked out the perceived accelerations relative to the aircraft axis? That would give us the seat of the pants feel, or have you already made this transformation?
