How can we calculate $g$ force in this maneuver?
We are not dealing with conventional maneuvers like level turn or loop so what equation used to calculate g force in this maneuver?
What about other special maneuvers? Which equation used for them?

$\begingroup$ Take a simple barrel-roll. The pilot has complete control over the g-force, by pushing or pulling the stick. There are videos of people pouring coffee all during a barrel-roll. They do this by starting the maneuver in a climb, then curve downward over the top, and end up in a descent. Maneuvers are complicated. $\endgroup$– Mike DunlaveyCommented Aug 31, 2021 at 15:01

If the forward component of velocity does not change, that leaves only gravity and a centripetal force in all cases.

$\begingroup$ can you show the forward component of velocity and centripetal force in that case on a picture? $\endgroup$– alirezaCommented Aug 30, 2021 at 17:26

$\begingroup$ On a picture, you can only show 2D components of 3D vectors. Centripetal forces would be toward the center of curvature of curved motion. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 30, 2021 at 18:03
