BOAC, have a look at the BoI (or whatever its called now) report by following the link in an earlier posting.

All that 'g' info is there, it very lengthy.

I had posted earlier (deleted) about the team not wearing g-suits except the synchro. This info was based on a ride I had with them in about 1996. Sometime after that they changed to wearing them as a result of a near g-loc experience in the break to land. This is mentioned in the report as well.

On my trip, my pilot, whom I knew well, specifically warned me that the most 'g' pulled would be on the break to land, he certainly snatched hard to over 6g. This was a struggle without a g-suit, and I was a current QFI on type at the time.

I suppose no matter what type you fly or in what role, 'corporate' experience can get lost. It helps if everything is written down, but even then things get omitted during revisions to manuals etc.
