If G meters are not within 1 G, what action is required?

• A. Continue flight
• B. Submit a 781 write-up
• C. Land immediately
• D. Recalibrate the G meters

Answer: (B)

A G meter that isn’t within 1 G is indicating a fault in the load-sensing system that could affect accurate readings of forces on the airframe. When a measurement is out of tolerance, the proper action is to document the discrepancy with a Form 781 maintenance write-up so maintenance can inspect, recalibrate, or replace the sensor as needed. This keeps the aircraft’s records accurate and ensures the issue is resolved before further flight. Recalibration may be part of the fix, but the required step is to officially log the fault; continuing flight or landing immediately aren’t the mandated actions in this scenario.
