wrote: Modern gliders tend to be certified to JAR-22. Non-acro gliders are certified in the utility category which means a max. load factor of +5.3G at maneuvre speed and +4G at Vne. Safety factor ist 1.5 (for a new glider, probably less for a worn-out one!). chances are you will break a glider when pulling 8G at Vne. 8G are perfectly standable (albeit for most peoole not enjoyable). Should I read 6G, I guess. aldo
