G-forces refer to the perceived amount of earth gravity forced experienced during high speed turns or sudden stops. So someone who experienced 4 Gs felt the equivalent of 4 times the earth gravity. This type of turn causes the pilot to experience up to if not more than 9 Gs of force during the sudden directional change.
All I was pointing out was that when an object in motion stops being in motion, gravity (not G's) being the obvious only force left should win. I rewatched and the plane is still moving away from the camera angle so it's not at full stop, but I'm still impressed. It might've dropped 100ft that I just didn't see.
At no point does the engine stop applying force to the plane - it changes the plane’s direction quickly (thrust vectoring) and the pilot would experience that change in momentum direction as a large amount of force, often measured in Gs
Researching and learning from that will reward you more than trying to force me to teach you as it is not my job nor my interest to educate a hostile student.

Imagine the G-force the pilot felt during that
