When I was a kid, about 2 or 3 centuries ago, I noticed that many airplanes had g-meters. The were installed in planes that weren't certified or otherwise considered aerobatic by most people. I'm thinking of the the Champion Lancer, the twin Citabria that has a cruise sp3eed probably a little better than a Cub. I don't why (About the g-meters, not the Lancer's cruise speed). I've seen them in Bonanzas, Navions, Pacers, Cherokees. Luscombes and it seemed that one out of every 30 airplanes or so at Long Beach, California Airport just has g-meters in them. I suppose, since our airplanes are older and more crusty, more rusty, they just aren't needed any longer!

From the description: "N7642N is a 1968 Beechcraft Baron D55 that is a rare one owner aircraft hangared in Michigan its entire life and ran part 135 as an air ambulance for a period of the twin Baron's life."

What’s with the “G” meter?


And almost 5 to -3 g's pulled????


It’s amazing how an instantaneous shock load will be a lot more Gs than you think. Now, sustained that’s brutal. Push a laptop computer off a countertop and let it fall to the tile floor - easy to get 5-10Gs of shock load.

I’d attribute those numbers to a hard landing. Not sure how to get -3 though…

Maybe the Acceleration Gauge has settable limits for Gs - for example the Baron 58 POH says positive G limit is 4.2. Maybe those are not "saved" limits reached but rather the redlines?

Not my plane and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so...

Old mechanical G-meters, such as the one in this aircraft, can be made to read stupid numbers by simply thumping the glass with your finger. Back in the day, we used to do it all the time to the Super Decathlon trainer when they were in for Mx, really freaked out the instructors. In other words, ignore that, find another flaw with the aircraft to point out....

That trick DOESN'T work in the F16..I can flick it all I want and it doesn't move off 1G, but we routinely get it to peg at 9Gs sustained (not from laptop falling on floor)

;)

Does your back hurt as a result of all those G's?

My head hurts just thinking about that, which is why I was low and slow......

We didn't have g meters, limited to -.5 G

I have had a hard landing but didn't set the G meter off in an Airbus....

Nice Baron, I have a D55. Going to need some avionics, which I am now well familiar with!

I hope all the g-meter discussion hasn't distracted people from the plane. I don't know anything about this specific plane beyond what is in the add, but D55 barons are fantastic airplanes and the price on this looks very good. I hope people are looking .
