Q: I am looking at MOSES results from the output report "CARGO G FORCE STATISTICS". Do these G forces include the g*sin(theta) effect? If so, how can the Longitudinal G force be reported as less than half of g times the maximum pitch angle?

A: Of course, the G*sin(theta) effect is included in the CARGO G FORCE STATISTICS. What you are reporting is normally due to phasing. This is more evident, when surge and pitch are nearly 180 degrees out of phase. This means the surge component of the G force is opposing the pitch component, resulting in the lower G value.
