John and Anok, Specifically John, What the heck are you thinking? Any airliner exceeds 1.5 G during rotation at take off. Why would the 757 computers prevent this?
I'm sorry, but I'm begining to believe the ATS John Lear isn't the real John Lear, or the real John Lear isn't the pilot he claims to be.
As I stated in my original post an airliner rarely exceeds 1.5 g's. I believe that you are misinformed.

None of the rebuttals made by darkbluesky in this post are valid.
In several of his responses he is not addressing the issue. Rather than waste my time answering each one of darkblueskys responses if anybody has a question in particular I would be happy to respond.
I believe that darkbluesky is trying his best to address a difficult and complex issue and I would not call him disingenuous.

From what I've read the on board computers keep a 757 from exceeding 1.5G's, and cannot be overridden by the pilot. Mostly for passenger comfort of course.
John do you know if this is true?
That may be true I was never qualified in the Boeing 757,

ATS members, If you haven't already, please read the whole thread. Whoever is posting as John Lear in this thread is an imposter, or an intentional deciever. All of my rebuttals are backed by readily available public and/or aviation data, The fact that "Mr. Lear" has announced that he will no longer respond to my questions or rebuttles, tells me he's befuttled.

OK. You got me darkbluesky. I can’t answer your questions. I am the fake John Lear.
The REAL John Lear stands tall, a man among men. Handsome, close cropped white hair, a lady killer he is, slim and trim even at 64. Well read, well spoken. A diplomats diplomat. World traveler, comfortable sipping tea in a caravanserai in Kandahar as sipping coffee (masbut, sukran) downtown Sana'a. Only if you look carefully in the left lapel of his dinner jacket can you see the International Order of the Knights Grand Cross of the Star of Asia. His tanned face would blush if you brought it to his attention.
He can expound on the trials and tribulations of Omega navigation, simplify the mechanics of celestial navigation and detail GPS to the unwashed. An inveterate storyteller he will have you rolling in the aisles with his irreverent stories of flying for the CIA in Laos, his cattle run flying cows from Khartoum to feed the army in South Yemen. Running guns from Greece to South Africa and his part in the 'October Surprise'.
He would have you believe that he is the only pilot to have flown as captain, on the same day, in the same Boeing 707, a revenue flight for both El Al (Israel’s national airline) and Air Sinai (One of Egypts passenger airlines). Lear holds more Federal Aviation Administration issued airman certificates than any other airman. He is type rated in 23 aircraft and has flown over 100 different aircraft in over 50 different countries.
Retired for 6 years now I am sure the REAL John Lear would not be posting on ATS or talking about the Pentagon 757. I would doubt he even had a computer. I would imagine John Lear sipping an expensive Sauvignon Blanc in the afternoon sun while waiting for his 5 year old grandson to finish kindergarten and come to his grampa to read "McElligots's Pool" (by Dr. Seuss) for the thousandth time.
I would imagine John Lear to be susceptible to bribes of Cohiba Esplendidos and Courvoisier XO if only he would reveal the secrets of the universe.
No darkbluesky, I am not John Lear. I am a cheap fraud who wishes he could shine John Lear's shoes. If ever I could find him.

Fine....
Jack's Video sucks.
Foremost....Poor production quality!
Full of contradictions.
His conclusions dismiss the testimony of two of his witnesses.
If I were being paid to make that thing, and that piece of crap is what I gave to my boss.... I'd expect to get fired.
How's that for my opinion on the topic of Jack's little movie?

Renzi Rick
Rick Renzi a law student - ''The plane came in at an incredibly steep angle with incredibly high speed,''... was driving by the Pentagon at the time of the crash about 9:40 a.m. The impact created a huge yellow and orange fireball, he added. Renzi, who was interviewed at the scene by FBI agents, said he stopped his car to watch and saw another plane following and turn off after the first craft's impact.

James S Robbins a national-security analyst & 'nationalreviewonline' contributor: "I was standing, looking out my large office window, which faces west and from six stories up has a commanding view of the Potomac and the Virginia heights." "The Pentagon is about a mile and half distant in the center of the tableau. I was looking directly at it when the aircraft struck. The sight of the 757 diving in at an unrecoverable angle is frozen in my memory, but at the time. " I did not immediately comprehend what I was witnessing. There was a silvery flash, an explosion, and a dark, mushroom shaped cloud rose over the building. I froze, gaping for a second until the sound of the detonation, a sharp pop at that distance, shook me out of it. "

Sorry John, Just one more question...and let me apologize in advance for the departure from decorum. I'm sure a gentleman such as yourself will tolerate my poor judgement here.
Why post a picture of yourself in a "tweet" when you've been in so many "more capable" aircraft?
edit:
If it's an A-6, I apologize again....this time for my bad memory, but the question still stands.
1.5 g Commercial airliner during takeoff run.

1.5 g Commercial airliner during takeoff run.
During take off run the main part of the acceleration is in forward path.
If there is a g limitation on an airplane I guess it is done with one sensor that can only handle 1 direction and would most like observe the up down direction of the aircraft and with this the G's in banking by constant absolut velocity.
Some Typical g-Forces
1 g Standing
1.2 g Normal elevator acceleration (up).
1.5-2g Walking down stairs.
2-3 g Hopping down stairs.
1.5 g Commercial airliner during takeoff run.
2 g Commercial airliner at rotation
3.5 g Maximum acceleration in amusement park rides (design guidelines).
4 g Indy cars in the second turn at Disney World (side and down force).
4+ g Carrier based aircraft launch.
10 g Threshold for blackout during violent maneuvers in high performance aircraft. Vertical bank in F-16 for example.
10 g The NASA g-force simulator is limited to 10 g for astronaut training.
11 g Alan Shepard in his historic sub orbital Mercury flight experience a maximum force of 11 g. During this time he was unable to speak because he could not move his jaw.
20 g The Colonel Stapp experiments on acceleration in rocket sleds indicated that in the 10 to 20 g range there was the possibility of injury because of organs moving inside the body. Beyond 20 g they concluded that there was the potential for death due to internal injuries. Their experiments were limited to 20 g.
30 g The design maximum for sleds used to test dummies with commercial restraint and air bag systems is 30 g.

GB, If you go down to the next item on the list below, you'll see that during take off rotatation the average airliner experiences 2 Gs. Take off run means the acceleration down the runway with the wheels still on the ground. Rotation is when the yoke is pulled back and the nose wheel comes off the ground....the pilot is "rotating" the aircraft around its pitch axis - an imaginary straight line that passes through the aircraft from wing tip to wing tip. At this time the aircraft undergoes vertical G loading (straight down).
Just consider the entire list below and tell me if you think it makes sense that airliners would be designed and built for 2 Gs if roller coasters are designed for 3.5.
