barrel roll in 172
"john smith" wrote 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. -- Jim in NC |
