LOW Altitude OCF Video

Ladies and gentlemen, I present . . . inertial coupling! Holy crap . . .
 
In the F-14, multiple aileron rolls were a prohibited manuever. One aileron roll and a pause, then another and a pause, etc., were okay ... If you do multiple the nose can just start to go on you. What happened to that Hornet could happen in an F-14 even under normal g loading. Nasty departure he had...and a nice recovery considering the altitude.
 
Freaking NMCI. From what you guys have said, sounds like multiple aileron rolls? Prohibited by NATOPS in the Hornet. Same limitation as Schnugg mentioned.

Supposedly it's an F/A-18 doing some 0'g rolls. Check out the altitude he recovered at...

They showed this to us at ASO back in the stone age. As I recall, this was part of the testing of the bungee feel system for the Blues done at Pax River and validating it for multiple rolls in the show routine. There was this video and another they showed of an F-102 (6?) breaking up in flight as examples of roll coupling.
 
Everybody knows that multiple ailron rolls is the only way to beat a bandit in the F-14.

That is, if you're Mav and the bandit is Viper. ;)
 
Zero-zero also includes zero VSI and zero degrees bank angle. You can be at low altitude, high sink rate and/or past 90 degrees bank angle in a "zero-zero" seat and still be screwed.

Rog. Thanks...

<<<<<<------Flies P-3's...and C-12's and T-34's...:D
 
Wow, great video, thanks for posting. But this leads video me to some questions. This should probably be in the stupid aviation questions but....

Also I'm not asking for any specifics on any jet but, in general.

1. What is most likely to have caused this? Did the pilot input rudder, or some other control, as one of the people who commented suggested?

2. Why do this at 0 G?

3. Once at 0 G is only input supposed to be aileron?

EDIT:
Just realized there was something to research in Nittany03's post. Trying to wrap my head around "inertial coupling" ...
