Default an exercise for sim pilots -- a 1 G roll

Ah, but if you are capable of the task, you can apply some classical
physics to the information provided in the archive and do the analysis
yourself.


Acceleration is a change in velocity. Climbing from the ground (or
from any constant altitude) is a change in vertical velocity (since
the initial rate of climb is zero). Therefore climbing involves
acceleration. G forces are nothing more than acceleration. Therefore
climbing changes G forces. QED.

If you are not capable of the analytical physics you might have to do
experimental physics.


Nothing that complicated is required. See above.
