Hiccup in the Flight Model
-
However such behavior could be explain by several things
Transonic barrier ?
That´s what i thought, but hard to be sure if never flown F-16 for “real” ;):mrgreen:
-
Never seen it myself. That would suck.
EDIT: definitely could not be caused by hardware?
I was thinking the same.

You are talking of stone age here
There are no errors in data i mean copy paste from nasa is ok, dont know if the nasa has made a mistake somwhere
Howevet such behavior could be explain by several things
Transonic barrier ?
turbulence modeling that kicks in abruptly ?
I/O peaks ?
I must admit that after years of flying i never noticed it except in transsonic region
I suspected something of this nature, but wasn’t entirely sure, because it typically occurs (not always), but when I’ve noticed it, it’s when I’ve gone from above mach into a turn, and am just sub mach (.87+) when the loss of lift/pull occurs temporarily. You’ll have aft stick deflection, but the nose will “bobble” or “dip” just for a second, then it resumes pulling.
It was very similar to a math error Andre made in the SP4 fm one time during testing, I saw something ‘kinda’ similar but not quite. It’s good to know it’s a natural occurrence.
-
Actually now that you mention the mach, I have seen it do this through the transonic region while pulling max G.

Perhaps a vid of this might show us a good example?

One can easily try reproducing it. I really don´t think a video is required as it was well enough described in the posts before.

Actually Ive just tried reproducing it without much luck. CAT I, ITO (shouldnt make a difference…), 4 AIM-9s and 2 Py4s. Not sure what might have changed though.

Me neither. I fly my jet through the transonic rage a lot. I do not see this behavior at all. Maybe I am missing something? I wish to see a vid of this. Maybe a bit of buffing is all I notice, but no problems with HOTAS and FM still in sync.

COULD DEPEND on altitude

yup, easily reproducible at angels 20.
