Reflection is an important component when processing new information.In each module, you will include a reflection summary or activity in your journal. These reflection activities will be titled Takeaway Summary. Through this reflection, you will have the opportunity to explore concepts that were introduced throughout the module week.
With this goal in mind, take the opportunity to reflect on and react to the module readings, discussions, media, and other content presented. Your summary should include the module's concepts and/or experiences that you will or may use in the future in your career, or just personal life. Your "takeaway" can come from class discussions, case analyses, or readings that impressed you.
Your Module 6 "takeaway" should have 7 subsections:

-Explain the difference between linear, radial, and angular acceleration.
-Identify which "G" force vector is most significant in normal aircraft flight.
-Evaluate the relationship between +Gs forces on the body and the resulting physiological effects.
-Define the G-LOC, continuum including the Stoll curve.
-Identify the components of an anti-G straining maneuver.
-Discuss the benefits of wearing a G-suit and the amount of G protection afforded to the pilot.
-Describe the factors which degrade a pilot's G tolerance.

Here all the info I can provide for context:
Module 6 Overview
What is acceleration physiology? Acceleration physiology examines the forces due to acceleration called "Gs." A pilot in a steep turn may experience forces of acceleration equivalent to many times the force of gravity. This is especially true in military fighter jets and high-performance, aerobatic aircraft where the acceleration forces may be as high as 9 Gs. Air race pilots in a tight pylon turn also experience high G-forces, but the important thing to remember is that any aircraft operated in a maximum-performance profile will subject the pilot to acceleration that is greater than the 1 G acceleration encountered on the ground.
This means that an aviator, who is exposed to Gs, must take precautions to ensure that they do not lose consciousness in flight. As a general rule of thumb, the average human can tolerate up to 4.0 Gs (sustained) without losing consciousness, although some individuals could have a tolerance as high as 5 Gs or as low as 2Gs. Additionally, an individual's G tolerance may change from day to day, depending on a wide variety of factors. Although there are some predictors, the only way to assess tolerance is in a dynamic G environment. So to start your G journey, please take a moment to watch the video (Links to an external site.)
