Default barrel roll in 172


Ron

Wrong choice of words.

Straight and level your G meter reads one G,(force of gravity) if
calabrated correctly. You roll into a turn and pull one G (2 G's on
meter) to make a one G turn. Please correct my posts to show this.

I should have said two G's on meter and things would work out. Sorry
about that (

As has been said in all the posts, the short answer is NO. 172 is not
certified to do barrel rolls.

However I can barrel roll a 172 only pulling 1 G which puts no more
load on airframe than straight and level flight. I have thousands of
hours to back up my statement.

No you can not.

It's not possible to even start the roll without going greater
than 1G.
