@mrmoerder by definition of a barrel roll you will change altitude, unless you are confused with an aileron roll

@ChizRockster - (a) I can guarantee you will not find this stupid little trick in the AFM of this aircraft, (b) if the owner of this airplane (or when he does), this morons will be out the door so fast, and (c) do you think the FAA would have your same opinion of this absolute disregard for the FARs and common sense? The days of cowboy flying are over for a reason. Want to do aerobatics, get into the proper equipment - don't endanger someone else's assets fooling around - does Costa Conocordi

Imbeciles - that is the only thing one can say.  That is why you need to thoroughly check the background of corporate/commuter pilots. The day these idiots pay for the iron they fly (and the potential damage they can cause), then they should try it on their own coin. Google up the Hawker that was twisted up by a pair of idiots like these trying to snap roll the thing.

@ChrizRockster a bank beyond 60 degrees or pitch beyond 30 degree is an areobatic maneuver.....requiring parachutes. Not to mention that this is a transport category aircraft in which this stuff is not approved for. Amazing what info you can find if you take the time to research....but you didn't. now you look like an idiot. If you woulda just asked "why" instead of being a jerk i woulda put my answer different.

any questions?

@beergut111 - I'm sorry but where did it become illegal? The aircraft is operating within its flight envelope. Its not a high-G manoeuvre of any kind, its a barrel roll. Its a very tough aircraft. I suppose next you'll be saying steep turns are illegal!

[VIR092]

@highwingprop That's not gravity that keeps you in your seat, it's the positive normal acceleration from the angular motion of the aircraft in the rolling maneuver. 

[beergut111]

we'll be reading about these dumbass pilots in accident report someday. Rolling a 1900?....very dumb and illegal.

@2ballas Yes Bob Hoover is very much alive but has retired from flying . He must be in his mid to late 80s. I had the honour of meeting and flying with him back in 1977 and attended one of his courses on how to fly his Shrike Commader and what he had to do inside the cockpit to do all those manouvers with out hitting the ground. He was the consumate professional and a real gentleman who never took anything for granted.
