What range of Gs can the accelerometer display in the T-6?

The correct answer is that the accelerometer in the T-6 can display a range of -6 to +10 Gs. This range is designed to account for both the positive G forces experienced during maneuvers as well as negative G forces that can occur during certain flight conditions, such as during pulls out of dives or during abrupt changes in direction. The ability to measure up to +10 Gs allows for capturing high-performance maneuvers typical in training scenarios for advanced flight operations.

This range is critical for pilots to be aware of their physiological limits and to ensure safety in operations, as exceeding G limits can lead to loss of consciousness or other detrimental effects on the pilot's performance. The lower limit of -6 Gs indicates that the aircraft can handle significant negative G maneuvers, which also plays a crucial role in training scenarios.

In contrast, other ranges, such as -5 to +10 Gs, would not fully capture the operational limits required for the diverse maneuvers executed in a training environment, while -6 to +6 Gs and -10 to +10 Gs would extend beyond the practical application needed for safe and effective flight operations. This specific range of -6 to +10 Gs ensures that pilots are
