If that doesn't send Arlo running to the computer
to type up a registered letter ...
Note that the 172 has been modified with a smoke
system. I might also suggest an AGM battery and
an air-oil slobber pot (a la 801), to stop it from dumping
out all the oil on the bottom of the left stabilizer during
hammerheads. I might also suggest a G-meter.
Remember that a 172 is rated for +4.4G in the
utility category, which this fellow almost certainly
was. I didn't see any snap rolls (inside or outside)
or any other torsional loads.
I might mention that what he's doing really isn't
very hard. Ask any TC Inspector to demonstrate -
it's not like they can't fly a 172, the easiest airplane
in the world to fly, right?
