Durability of G-Tolerance in the Absence of Repeated G-Exposure
Pensacola, FL
Background: At present, it is impossible to completely protect aircrew from the risks of G-induced loss of consciousness; the capabilities of today’s high-performance aircraft are simply too great. And to compound the issue, it is common “gouge” in the aviation community that time away from your aircraft (“G-layoff”) will reduce your maximum G-tolerance. But despite anecdotal reports and a widespread belief in the phenomenon, little has been written, tested or proven on this G-layoff topic.
