Nope, we lifted the nose and dropped it instantly.

Are you sure he was not demonstrating stalls to you?
 
Re: Negative G\'s

Ya know, maybe you should just ask the instructor about it (!). None of us were there, so we don't know exactly what you did; if you just ask the guy what it was you can clear all of this up!
 
Re: Negative G\'s

Thanks for the replies..
While flying back to the airport, the Flight instructor asks me if I know what Negative G's are. I answered his question by telling him what they exactly are but I never experienced them. He proceeded by lifting the nose and dropping it, it lasted around 3-5 seconds.
 
Re: Negative G\'s

sounds like it's him just having fun. But i know the seminoles should not be put in negative g's (per POH) yes it is rated for -1.52, but that doesnt mean you can do it. It will starve the tanks (doesnt have inverted tanks).

I dont know if the cherokee is the same. Just making an observation.

Agree. Further to your point, any undue or unnecessary pilot-induced stress on the airframe near, or exceeding tolerances, except in emergency, is:

1. wholly unnecessary, and
2. poor piloting technique.
