Gotta push on the yoke thru the inverted portion or it will barrel out and the roll almost stops....just ask Boli... (requal)...
Oh no you don't, like I said keep some back pressure to maintain
positive G. The aircraft doesn,t KNOW its inverted ! Pushing when inverted will get you a face full of fuel LP lights and maybe some others such as hydraulics !
Lotta fun in the sim but it has its serious side, if more pilots were exposed to this and practiced handling in extreme attitudes it could well help them cope better with jet upsets, and perhaps avoid situations like AF 447, one reason the RAF teaches ALL pilots aerobatics in training.
737 rolls really well too and you CAN stop it on an aircraft carrier too ! All tried in the sim.
Dont think its been done on a 747 and the busses don' t allow it ! However, the A380 display at Farnborough was superb, and all done at an IAS of 160 or below, magnificent flying !

I just went to Barcelona and our airbus had ONE seat for smokers. Granted it might get drafty and cold in flight...
