How many Gs can a 172 pull?
How many Gs can a 172 pull? This means, in the case of our 172, we can impose a load with flaps up of +3.8g's, or –1.52g's with the aircraft loaded in accordance with Normal Category specifications without damaging the aircraft.
What does 9 gs feel like?
Under 9 g, you're going to have a very hard time moving your head sideways or backwards, seeing as it feels nine times as heavy as it actually is. When a passenger aircraft takes off and we are suddenly stuck to our seat – that's a force equaling approximately 2 g. Rollercoasters usually only go as far as 4 g.
Why did Cessna stop making the 172?
Cessna also built 172s in France when it acquired an interest in Reims Aviation in 1960, stopped production entirely in 1986 due to the high cost of liability, and resumed production in Independence, Kansas, 10 years later, after the General Aviation Revitalization Act became law.
