Rolls ( not the o es you eat!)

Do you have the same unofficial system as the RAF in that said pilot should report to maintenance with a crate or two of beer by way of apology?

Remember one of our jockeys overstressing a jet the day before we were due to trail said jet across the pond. Grrrrr

Yup, I told the crew chief to make sure he casually said what his favorite beer was. And the Group Commander made the pilot help with the inspection.

Meaning it has to stay on the ground until fixed and cleared to go up again?

Correct, red X is a grounding discrepancy

Pardon me for asking but how it the aircraft then cleared again? Is is "simply" a check of the structure where the wings attached to the fuselage or is it out for months before becomming air worthy again.

It's probably not moddeled in DCS but how can I ensure that the A/C is not overstresset in a loaded roll? Is it just rolling and then no more than e.g. 2G's?

Over G's have different inspection requirements depending on the level. For an OVG1 it is basically just a slightly more in-depth Combined Basic Post Flight/Preflight Inspection (BRP/PR). Theoretically if you find damage during the inspection depending on the severity it could be down for weeks or months for repairs.

It's probably not modeled in DCS but how can I ensure that the A/C is not overstressed in a loaded roll? Is it just rolling and then no more than e.g. 2G's?

Not really anything you can do, an over-g isn't just stress on the airframe, as soon as you load external munitions the g's that are allowed are reduced and that's not something that can be found publically. Nothing that is modeled in DCS. You over-g and your wings rip off.

Solid copy, thanks.

Been there, done that, just missing the T-shirt

Thanks for clarifying. Much appreciated
