No maneuver that involves a change in altitude can maintain exactly 1
G along the net acceleration vector (including perpendicular to the
cockpit floor). This is not a myth, it's a fact.


Do you see the word "acceleration" anywhere in my "myth" statement? I
have no idea what it is you think you are trying to say,


Neither does he
