Too early for you Mike? :-) 747s aren't certificated in the
Normal Category...how about the Transport Category?


Must not have to know that for the ATP rating. :-))


Fortunately for me!


Sorry Mike, I hit the send key too quickly.

I am reading a paper about "Radial G" and the next paragraph is:
"By the same logic a large aircraft certified under FAR 25.337(b) with
the minimum allowed limit load of 2.5 would be restricted to a 1.65-g
rolling pull up. To keep things in round numbers, the "rolling" Va, as
calculated for the aircraft weight, would be about twenty percent less
than the symmetrical Va."
