I'm sure he meant to reduce power in order to not exceed Vne.


You reach Vne quickly in a parabola. Remember, you have to accelerate
downwards at 1 G in order to maintain the zero-G state. In five seconds your
rate of descent from the top of the parabola must be 9600 fpm, or 95 kts
_straight down_ (and thus much faster if you are also moving forward).
