What happens if an Over-G is suspected during after-landing checks?

When an Over-G is suspected during after-landing checks, resetting the G-meter is the appropriate action to assess whether the aircraft has indeed experienced excessive loading. The G-meter records the forces experienced by the aircraft, and resetting it allows the crew to evaluate the G-load readings accurately after a flight. This is a critical step to determine if the aircraft has been subjected to conditions that may require further investigation or maintenance, as exceeding structural limits can affect the aircraft's integrity.

Ensuring that the data captured by the G-meter is clear and accurate is essential for maintenance personnel when examining the aircraft and making decisions about airworthiness or repairs. By resetting the G-meter, the flight crew prepares to document any subsequent G-loads or anomalies that may arise and assists maintenance in performing a thorough analysis. This process is integral to maintaining safety and operational readiness.
