An airplane in flight will ALWAYS rotate around its centre of gravity. Therefore if you push the nose down, the tail will experience a temporary INCREASE in 'local' g... in the front, however, you'll experience a temporary reduction in g-force. All modern airbusses are protected. They won't allow you to go beyond -1 and +2.5 g in clean configuration.

This is way off topic, does anyone know what the matter was with the airplane...
