Default Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

What happens to the g force acting on me as a pilot if I start in
straight and level, unaccelerated flight, and then I initiate a
coordinated turn?


The net force increases, as it results from both that induced by
gravity (which is constant) and that induced by your acceleration
torwards the center of the turn. In a coordinated, level turn, the
force vector will be normal to the airframe, and so you will have the
impression that you are climbing initially; when you finish the turn
you'll have the impression that you are descending briefly. This
assumes that you keep your head level with the wings.


You're an idiot.
