Forces on the flier in the frame of aircraft (non inertial reference frame) is 

i) Normal reaction (N)

(ii) Pseudo force mv2R

(iii) Gravitational force  (mg)

According to problem, vT=vb=vm=v

The net force on flier at every point should be zero in the frame of aircraft. For top point T,

NT+mg=mv2TR NT=mv2R-mg=0.7 kN For bottom point, NB=mg+mv2bR=2.1 kN

Nm=mv2R2+mg2=1.56 kN
