barrel roll in 172
Geez, Morgans, can't someone ask a simple question about whether an
aircraft can perform a roll without you jumping to the absurd
conclusion that he's going to run right out and do it? There is such a
thing as "idle curiosity."
Take your meds and calm down.

Certified? No.
Possible? Yes, but you will finish much lower than where you started.
Don't encourage that type of behavior with a yes. If he had to ask, he is
probably not a competent aerobatic pilot, and a blown barrel roll could
stall the plane, or overstress it, so it fails then, or later.
I'll bet he is not going to wear a parachute, either, which is required.
The answer to rolling a normal category plane should be no, always.
We don't want his, or someone else's blood on our hands.
