Baquet

[PPRuNeUser0139]

Anyone know the equivalent English term in English for a 'baquet'?
In French it's a half-roll and reverse after few seconds of inverted flight.

--- rolled several times I'm told, then a honey spread :)

The half roll and fly inverted for a few seconds is a traditional French training manouvre from WW2 that in action means "I have surrendered - please wait for me to bail out before firing".

Flip flop?

For the OP, what you described looks to be a Split-S.

What you described is roll inverted (presumably while maintaining heading) and then reverse heading (by which I think you meant head in the opposite direction than you are heading while inverted. )

To do that, you'd pull the nose through (and obviously lose a bit of altitude) and end up with a reversed direction.

Is that the question you were asking?

Could well be..
Thanks for that.

Ahh. I thought you meant reverse the roll. Isn't a Split S also an Immelman?

Isn't a Split S also an Immelman?

No, an Immelman goes upwards.:ok:
