Ok.. the number above "NAV" is the max G's pulled. Current G's are at the top left. No RAD at the top is because the radar is not turned on. The "Warning" heard is a calculation done withing the computer. The "Warning" is telling him that if he continues losing speed at that angle of attack, then he will stall. There is more involved in that calculation, but that is basic and easier to understand. When you hear "Betty" say "Altitude", that is because there is a set altitude in the DED. This is used to keep the pilot informed if he goes below that set altitude. For instance, remember in the movie "Top Gun" when they talked about the "hard deck"? That was the lowest altitude that they are allowed to fly. It simulates the ground. This is why Maverick did not pass that test was because, in reality, he would be dead. His instructor would have also been dead because he also went below hard deck. If Maverick would have just stayed above " hard deck" he would have won that test, because he basically made the "bad guy" become a lawn dart. Sorry about the "Top Gun" stuff, but it is just an example to help people understand a little better. You can set the low altitude warning to either that hard deck setting or, for instance, 1000Ft above it to warn you when you are getting close. I hope some of this long post helped someone understand a little better.
sagrzmnky I didnt posted to offend or criticize, you misjugdeg me.I justed posted because in the last few weeks i play BMS and i learnd those things from that,so i just thought that you play too.Never mind, how you are allowed to use the military sim do you have any friend in the airforce?
Ok. I apologize for that. I deleted that comment because it was not fair. It is just that so many people are quick to post nasty comments online that it makes me real defensive. I actually had a friend that built and operated the sim at the base. I have not spoken to him in a while so I do not know if he is still there. After flying in the military flight sims, I decided to build my own. It is not going to cost the 7 million bucks that the military is willing to spend our tax dollars on, but it is great for what I want.
A truely fantastic video. I've been redirected to it numerous times from various F-16 websites around the web, and hope to see more footage like this in the future. It's interesting to hear the Pilot as well as ATC, and not just some music blasting over it all. Thanks! Anyone know the date of this recording?
sheesh, testing radar? he was 6+ g most of the time every which direction as fast as you can spit. his butt must of hurt after a few minutes of puckering up like that. ya, he's got a brass pair. :)
You hear him doing his huffy puffy like a freight train. I always used to wonder about that as a kid. I doubt most people here have ANY idea what even 4g+ feels like. It's truly oppressive shit and so few people realize how you have to actively strain to avoid passing out from it. Flight sims don't replicate THAT shit at all. Squeeze your body like a tube of toothpaste from the bottom to the top, while breathing only in small breaths. Continue working on your PC while doing this. You get an idea how much harder the aviator's job is. If you start to black out, do it harder. Mix with go-fast pills and it does wonders for the cardiovascular system. The feeling of operating a vehicle which is so high performance that it will literally perform better than the human body can survive has got to be pretty scareousing. I can ride a motorcycle until I lose control of it, but that's not the same as going so fast the bitch knocks me unconscious while returning to normal flight. hahaha And yet pilots fuck up, get fixated, black out and drive themselves into the desert during training ops all the time. Even if you don't, you pay a price. Nobody likes to talk about Maverick's horrendous hemorrhoid surgeries.
Whoa. That was some flyin! I saw 7.9 g at one point. Lot's of turnin and burnin. Can't believe how low the guy was doing some of those manoevers! At one point he's upside down pulling heavy g at 800 feet!
This was amazing to see from the inside. The guy has pretty serious stamina to sustain that much G for such a long time, while keeping control of the airplane. I will say, though, that it was probably not that exciting to see from the outside. It would've been loud as hell (which is awesome), but would've appeared very slow. If he was going for crowd appeal, a few 600kt passes would do it, which would also let the pilot relax :) As a technology demo, though, it was probably pretty decent.
Yes he is fighting the G force. The G suit is assisting him by squeezing his upper legs to help keep the blood in his brain. The breathing he is doing is sometimes known as the "Hick" maneuver. It helps to force blood into the head so the pilots don't have LOC or loss of consciousness when G forces try to drain the blood from the head.
Goddamn that guy is CRANKING that thing from take off to landing!. Amazing flying! He even only bothers to line up the landing when he's a few hundred feet from the start of the runway.
@Herky231 Dude you have clearly no knowledge of fighetrjets... This is clearly not a fake. And yes you can hear the computer voice on a HUD video. It's as simple as having a Mic in the cockpit. Check this vid.. g5PNhNEW-os the bitching betty has been disabled in the cockpit but you can hear all other Computer noises and pilot talking. Sorry but if you think this is a fake you really don't know anything about the real world.
Why is the computer voice the same as the computer voice in the RAF Tornado Sim by Just Flight......or do Just flight have the development rights on the F16 original computer specs....? intereatng huh?.....................Graphics are ok. Almost FSX, but sound is VERY suspect....You CAN NOT HEAR the F16 computer voice on a video of the flight.................therefore.my opinion........its a fake? Sorry?
Not exactly, they have a G suit which wraps around the legs for that. The thing is at that many G's your ribcage gets so heavy it literally wants to flatten your lungs so you have to HIC-release-HIC-release-HIC-Release forcing your glottis to close so you can keep the air in your lungs long enough to get the oxygen you need.
@shorishel Pilots are also learned to contract their mussles and to do certain breathing exercises to prevent the flow of blood ... and to keep oxygen in their brain. + G's are the good g's because most aircraft are built to cope with these forces. - G's are dangerous for aircaft aswell as pilot. First of all the plane's structure is designed to tolerate hig + g's and doesn't withstand much - g's.
With regards to the black out I am not sure but I have heard of F-16 / F-18 types haveing been tested with an Auto-GCAS system or somekind of autopilot function that will command wings level if the pilot becomes temporarly unconscious. I am not sure of the details and will have to check with other military friends of mine. I am just a civilian type but have been around the airport for 40 years LOL Anyway with my CIFI hat on thats what it looks like to me.... Later Steve
It looks real because it is. It is not a simulator. Simulator (real simulator) HUDs are not as jumpy as a real aircraft's display. The reality is especially evident at about V1 point (where aborting a full roll-out is no longer an option) and also during touchdown when the pilot is lowering the nose. One hell of a test flight by the way. Not many pilots that can squeeze their legs and work the suit good enough to pull off a 8 to 9 G turn like he did to 3 O'clock.
@shorishel !READ FROM BOTTOM TO TOP! Second: The blood of the pilot now flows in the other direction (from feet to brain) To much blood in the brain, will cause to pilot to pass out. and can even cause a stroke ... Pilots are warned by (red-shade => red tunnel vision, cause by to much blood in the eyes). Sorry for my english ... Greetz !
@DanR811 At the start of the video when the plane is on the ground, on the left above the dotted lines there is a number which reads 1.0. That is the number of Gs. You will see that when the plane is turning, that number is increasing, meaning the pilot is pulling more Gs and that's why he is breathing differently, that is a breathing technique to keep himself from passing out.
Think this is real. And also, don't think the video cam is going to give you the same panoramic view the pilot may have. So any limited view that gives one the impression that this is just a simulation can be fooled. Because you certainly see the ground below. It's just that he's constantly turning and maneuvering with hardly a moment of level flight. So perhaps this is the name of the game for a fighter pilot? Only constant movement and change As in a dog fight?
Yes, you are wrong. The Period where the warning occurs is a controlled Minimum Speed Pass, exhibiting that aircraft's low speed handling capability. The warning system compares decreasing/steady airspeed trends with bank angle/angle of attack and warns the pilot of the onset of a "stall." However, You can bet the farm that this pilot isn't looking through the heads up display during these maneuvers.
The only thing that even makes me think it's a simulator is the extreme maneuvering you see. Yet I'm staring at the video trying to find other flaws, and if it -is- fake, it's a good one, because I can't tell it's fake.
the flight controls for an f-16 dont have too much stick resistance, even at high load. he is however preventing gravity induced loss of consiousness by performing anti-g straining manuvers...or simply called the grunt :)
An absolutely amazing jet. And this guy must have been a test pilot, letting the jet get that slow. That warning was a stall warning, and the caution you hear at the end his him being very low on fuel.
I just noticed your comment to me and thanks for the link. That was funny. I was a part of an F/A-18 squadron that went on det a lot to the Philippines and it wasn't uncommon for the pilots to get the shits from all the local beer drinking. I wasn't a pilot, but I remember not wanting to be too far from nearest shitter myself on many occasions. Get too far from the hanger and it could be a long sweaty walk back while you practice your Kegel exercises. Montezuma's revenge ain't no joke!
@azfsiguy late 70's well really doubtful since that's a C model HUD (late 80s). Not to mention that the jet first got a color HUD camera during the mid-late 90s IIRC. And not to mention that if my information is correct this is a HAF aircraft, block either 50 or 52+ tested by a LM pilot before delivery, that means late 90s - early 00s.
Really? This seems more like an Airshow to me. Flying along the runway, even has a tadpole aiming for show-center on the HUD. Also seems very similar to an F-16 airshow demonstration. Test flights for planes are generally done at a higher, safer, altitude. Airshows have to be low so that the attendee's can actually see the plane
very cool, this guy has the job of beiing a testpilot...you see him pulling G's, test the slow flight charasteristics and do an engine check. This video was shot at plant number 4, US airforce production and evaluation base. It is located at foth worth, Texas..Go to google earth and you will be able to see the base. They are testing the new f-16's over here and the new F-18's
these planes have systems that detect if you pass out or not and if thats the case, it levels out. since he was pulling all the high g moves in rapid fire succession, i'd say he may of forced himself to take a small nap! the plane levels and his airspeed drops during the caution...i could be wrong but thats what i think.
This is certainly not a simulator. All of the graphics seen on the hud are for real and so is the grunting from the pilot which withstood a max of 8.1 g's. My flight simulator has all of the same graphics shown here. I only wish that my simulator had pilot grunts to when I pull 8 or 9 g's.
@RtGFuSiOn Max sustained G for the human body is no more than around 6, AGSM and G-suit can bring it to around 9. Instantaneous Gs are different, I remember an F1 driver once took around 120 (!) for a split second in a crash and escaped unscathed (he did lose consciousness though).
@jcelso6232 Falcon 4.0's realism is not about airport/runway details. it's realism is based on its flight model/mechanics/systems. the actual graphics in Falcon 4.0 are very unrealistic.
@SoldierDDR hell even if that same routine was pulled slower the 5-7 gs he wouldve been pulling is mind blowing, anyone doing this kind of hot dogging should get everyones respect.
Note that I dont think the AF actually will perform a V1 cut but you are correct the is "REAL" and I think he actually blacked out for a few seconds. And yes I am actually a "Real" pilot.
@taradov The airspeed indicated went under 190kts and then he went into MCA, minimum controllable airspeed. The airspeed indicator is on the mid left of the screen and the altitude is on the right with the decimal in front of the number.
@TouslyXid You cant disable it. Its limited to 9 because the plane isn't structurally safe past 9G. IE your engine might break its mounting bolts etc. I think the human can take up to 18G, I THINK, but you'd probably die if it stayed like that for to long.
@Longboarder140 I think it is just a technique to counter the G force to prevent black out. He use muscle to force his blood into his brain. Do not tried that on the ground, you sure will not need that much blood into your brain at 1 G. XD
That is totally real, and totally awesome! Check his G meter throughout the flight. (top left) X.X numbers All done between 500ft and 1700 ft. Looks like fun, although I would have barfed after the the 1st 2 minutes, probably less.
So just to fly one of those bad boys like that, all the breathing exercises you do in the Gs simulator you have to do up there? Jeez, major respect for them. I think I'll stick to the ground and let those boys enjoy it
@sub7viet They can be used to the G forces but it still causes a physical response like holding breath. Its like a wieght lifter, they can train for years and years but whenever they are lifting it is still a challenge.
@MKAG212 because he is taking sharp turns at a very high speed, all his organs are pressed against his skull, the blood has trouble flowing... the average guy like you and me would probably pass out at the first turn :)
@f0nziewashere Im not a pilot, so take this with a grain of salt, but it's a breathing technique used to keep oxygenated blood in the brain and prevent g-loc (g force induced blackout).
Warning, warning.....warning, warning Warning for what? And what is "NO RAD" on the top of HUD? And "8.1 NAV" and beside NAV, that number.... whats it means? And "C" with underline?
when you hear him do that coughing noise its to prevent the pilot from blacking out. when you get to a higher g force and altitude, you sometimes feel like your going down a black tunnel.
I'm sorry, I just don't get it!! What the hell is going on? Is this guy in the airport environment? Sorry, can't figure out what he is doing. (hey, I'm a rookie aviator)
This is the real deal. The F-16 being flown is owned by a foreign country (Turkey I believe), but being flown by an American pilot for a public demonstration (An airshow).
You're both wrong, the G readout is on the left side just above the velocity indicator (top-right of the slide bar on the left that indicates speed/forward thrust).
@flipalchemy10 That's not coughing and sneezing, that's grunting and straining to keep the blood in his brain due to high G-forces in those turns and banks.
one of the things that this pilot has just impressed me on, was when he landed. noticed how when he was cleared for runway 35, he just started spinning downward, and came right on the runway...now that boy got talent ;)
@f16piet Precies Piet! Voor het bekijken van de vluchten in persoon is ongelooflijk. Dit is gevlogen in een strakke acrobatische doos. Het geluid is luid en kunt u de kracht voelen als de naverbrander paden deze mooie vogel. Groeten uit Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas. KC
In the upper left of the HUD, above the speed scale, you can see the digit for the G-forces. To avoid a Blackout the pilot has to press his breathing. An outstanding pilot !! Especially the runway approach, at the last moment.
Extremely confusing video - as someone who is familiar with the f-16 I have never seen anything like this. The dude is pulling 8+ gs, attempting to stall and depart the aircraft from less than 1000 feet ATL. He also does a ~300 foot final approach.
Ok.. the number above "NAV" is the max G's pulled. Current G's are at the top left. No RAD at the top is because the radar is not turned on. The "Warning" heard is a calculation done withing the computer. The "Warning" is telling him that if he continues losing speed at that angle of attack, then he will stall.

That was the lowest altitude that they are allowed to fly. It simulates the ground. This is why Maverick did not pass that test was because, in reality, he would be dead. His instructor would have also been dead because he also went below hard deck. If Maverick would have just stayed above " hard deck" he would have won that test, because he basically made the "bad guy" become a lawn dart. Sorry about the "Top Gun" stuff, but it is just an example to help people understand a little better.

sagrzmnky Thats great.Although flying the real jet is always better.Too bad i didnt make it to the military flight school this year.
Now i know here BMS and DCS got their G breath sound files from
0:44 They ripped that exact sound and put it as the G-strain sound in Falcon BMS
A truely fantastic video. I've been redirected to it numerous times from various F-16 websites around the web, and hope to see more footage like this in the future. It's interesting to hear the Pilot as well as ATC, and not just some music blasting over it all.
Thanks!
Anyone know the date of this recording?
ruclips.net/video/Wvjf6SA87BA/видео.html One of the best displays I think
sheesh, testing radar? he was 6+ g most of the time every which direction as fast as you can spit. his butt must of hurt after a few minutes of puckering up like that. ya, he's got a brass pair. :)
You hear him doing his huffy puffy like a freight train. I always used to wonder about that as a kid. I doubt most people here have ANY idea what even 4g+ feels like. It's truly oppressive shit and so few people realize how you have to actively strain to avoid passing out from it. Flight sims don't replicate THAT shit at all.

Even if you don't, you pay a price. Nobody likes to talk about Maverick's horrendous hemorrhoid surgeries.
judging by his breath, it's a goddamn hard work
Every pilot can do that. I'm not trying to say it's easy. I'm trying to say that every pilot in the U.S. is a physical embodiment of awesomeness.
Daaamn thats a really aggressive demo!
Whoa. That was some flyin! I saw 7.9 g at one point. Lot's of turnin and burnin. Can't believe how low the guy was doing some of those manoevers! At one point he's upside down pulling heavy g at 800 feet!
@619viewloader It's af amous video from the late 70's. He's perfroming a flight demonstration at the paris Air Show
This was amazing to see from the inside. The guy has pretty serious stamina to sustain that much G for such a long time, while keeping control of the airplane.
I will say, though, that it was probably not that exciting to see from the outside. It would've been loud as hell (which is awesome), but would've appeared very slow.
If he was going for crowd appeal, a few 600kt passes would do it, which would also let the pilot relax :) As a technology demo, though, it was probably pretty decent.
8 g´s amazing hard
0:44 is he fighting the G Force?
Yes this is a special breathe
Yes he is fighting the G force. The G suit is assisting him by squeezing his upper legs to help keep the blood in his brain. The breathing he is doing is sometimes known as the "Hick" maneuver. It helps to force blood into the head so the pilots don't have LOC or loss of consciousness when G forces try to drain the blood from the head.
6.1 g's
Some pretty phenomenal flying. I wish I could do that!
I wouldn't even do this in BMS, lol. Insane maneuvers, must be testing.
What a Amazing Fighter Pilot.
My Respect Sir.
Amazing ! the landing looked so easy and quickly
It's a practice flight for an airshow routine. Flown by a Lockheed test pilot at their Fort Worth factory.
Goddamn that guy is CRANKING that thing from take off to landing!. Amazing flying!
He even only bothers to line up the landing when he's a few hundred feet from the start of the runway.

@johnpatrick818 You're almost correct, The grunting is them flexing their muscles to keep the blood in their upper half.
Not exactly, they have a G suit which wraps around the legs for that.

@MKAG212 because he is taking sharp turns at a very high speed, all his organs are pressed against his skull, the blood has trouble flowing... the average guy like you and me would probably pass out at the first turn :)
@6YJI9 he was doing 140 knots to be fair thats doable for their standards but still nice flying and those g's got my stomach caving in right now
@f0nziewashere Im not a pilot, so take this with a grain of salt, but it's a breathing technique used to keep oxygenated blood in the brain and prevent g-loc (g force induced blackout).
Warning, warning.....warning, warning
Warning for what?
And what is "NO RAD" on the top of HUD?
And "8.1 NAV" and beside NAV, that number.... whats it means?
And "C" with underline?
when you hear him do that coughing noise its to prevent the pilot from blacking out. when you get to a higher g force and altitude, you sometimes feel like your going down a black tunnel.
I'm sorry, I just don't get it!! What the hell is going on? Is this guy in the airport environment? Sorry, can't figure out what he is doing. (hey, I'm a rookie aviator)
This is the real deal. The F-16 being flown is owned by a foreign country (Turkey I believe), but being flown by an American pilot for a public demonstration (An airshow).
You're both wrong, the G readout is on the left side just above the velocity indicator (top-right of the slide bar on the left that indicates speed/forward thrust).
I can't even fly like this in the simulator video game D:
@flipalchemy10 That's not coughing and sneezing, that's grunting and straining to keep the blood in his brain due to high G-forces in those turns and banks.
FletcherAviation (23 hours ago) Marked as spam
sounds like hes crying:P
Do you know how much G's he gets?
I Really should cry but he's just breathing
@Longboarder140 hes pulling excessive amount of Gs or forces of gravity. you'd be in pain to if you did those kind of tricks
@YouNoop Join USAF, complete fighter pilot training and you will get this simulator :P They even will pay you some money for using this simulator :)
That's what you get when you perform a Minimum-speed fly-by, 20 degrees nosepitch and 120-130 KIAS, the F-16 is convincing itself it is stalling :')
It's a compression artifact. Do you know how much power would be wasted on all the decals for the runway, if this were fake? All those black marks...
killer final turn for short approach.
he flies that machine like it's part of him.
and that with a maxG 8.1 on the screen
It´s complety real. I´t seems like is done in Navy Airport near Ft.Worth . I used to live the and see this king of training almost everyday .
one of the things that this pilot has just impressed me on, was when he landed. noticed how when he was cleared for runway 35, he just started spinning downward, and came right on the runway...now that boy got talent ;)
Theres about 50 people saying its a simmulator. He is being sarcastic. Not everything somebody says on the internet is always serious.
Pilots need a better conditioning than foot soldiers because of the amount of G-forces they've got to handle.
What was that Warning sign for?
@Longboarder140 also he's trying not to black out
dont laughing about this pilot job. ist really a hard work. thats not a pc-game that´s the reality.
He is almost all time was at least at 4g. Sometimes 9g... Awesome!!!
@soldier106343 this is not a weird soung this called an anti-gravity (G) so he won't black out ..
I felt weird just by pulling up a Cessna 206 a little too hard, I don't even want to imagine what does this feels like...
Holy... you can hear him making that "hiccup" tech to counter the G's. This isn't a simulator just because of that lol.
I don't think this is real.
No one is gonna let a plane do all those fancy maneuvers right over the airfield.
It's BS.
It doesn't feel like you're being sat on, it feels like everything is being pulled down and your face is melting.
I had no idea about the strain on breathing. Scary. The only thing that puzzle me is how low the engine noise is.
@razldazle10 Presumably he was performing a slow speed pass at a high angle of attack.
Why the altimeter readout is at -50 feets when the F-16 is on the ground ?
He was 50 feets below sea level !?
Maxed at 8.1g for the flight it seems... must have hurt, but F16 can do 9g i got told
Stalled... that's what the warning was for, the F-16's stall speed is about 140 or so.
Fighters are actually easy to fly. Sims do a good job. G force is the only thing that's difficult really.
this can't be real - the display is crap just constant turns no variety not real!!!
g-suit only gives you a g maybe a g & a half.
Also pretty much useless where -g's are concerned.
says this is not a simulator...
but thats exactly how I fly one
where the fcuk is the runway?!
LMFAO
@f16piet Precies Piet! Voor het bekijken van de vluchten in persoon is ongelooflijk. Dit is gevlogen in een strakke acrobatische doos. Het geluid is luid en kunt u de kracht voelen als de naverbrander paden deze mooie vogel. Groeten uit Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas. KC
@Sexomaniakos4ever
Not as sexy as the Russian voice from the SU-25 Georgian War attack clip...
............... Unless an enemy is behind you. For fun? Airshow? Ummm
@giuchin yup, that and the g suits, lol. barf bag time for mere mortals, or that and pass out!
hes gasping. the G meter is at the top of the airspeed indicator. hes hitting 8 Gs at times
In the upper left of the HUD, above the speed scale, you can see the digit for the G-forces. To avoid a Blackout the pilot has to press his breathing.
An outstanding pilot !! Especially the runway approach, at the last moment.
why is he pulling so many Gs all over the place. just showing off :)
Bottom left above the word "NAV" You can hear the pilot grunting as it ramps up over 5 G's
is that someone snizzing in the background? please tell me! D:
no g force effect
@Ansar091 an enourmous amount of force from Gs are pulling on him.
what the hell he keeps like thrusting!?! is it because of the g's?
its an airshow dude :P
you go full burner until run out of fuel
Wow wind 190 at 12 knots and cleared to land on runway 35? Must be a long enough runway.
Extremely confusing video - as someone who is familiar with the f-16 I have never seen anything like this. The dude is pulling 8+ gs, attempting to stall and depart the aircraft from less than 1000 feet ATL. He also does a ~300 foot final approach.
