What is the highest G planet you have discovered/landed on?

I found a 4.11G planet last night, and landed on it without a hitch. My HOTAS has an analog thumbstick for vertical and and lateral thrusters, so I was able to touch down gracefully. I touched down at just about 2 or 3 meters a second (or is the speed measured in meters per second, after dropping out of supercruise??).

What is the highest G planet you've discovered and landed on? (Not using the internet to find high G planets)
 
My highest G landing is Achenar 3 challenge. I believe it was 6.7G (or 6.9?). From the planets i have found, the highest G is 5.26. Which is rather modest compared to what some other cmdrs have found.
 
The highest known is 9.9G iirc, it's called the Mighty. I personally landed on 9.77 with a shieldless Beluga. Was fun.
 
We need a lot more CMDRs looking for these high G planet! \o/
I've spent way too much time looking for them. I got lucky last year and found that 9.90 G planet out beyond Colonia (Kyloalks DL-Y G17 4).
The airless planet over 10 G is still out there, somewhere.
Looking at the update schedule they announced this week, it seems like airless will be our only choice for the rest of the year. So, still plenty of time to get your name on a record breaker before that S171 nebula opens for landings.... :D
 
9.77G, HD 148937 3
How did you get the thumbstick to work for thrusters?
The thumbstick on my X52 pro will only work as a mouse.
I'm using the X56, and the throttle has an analog thumbstick that automatically binds to the vertical & lateral thrusters when I select the controller in the Elite settings.
 
I landed on "The Mighty" a couple of days ago for the first time. 9.9G and AFAIK, the current record holder for the highest gravity landable in the game.
It's about 3,800ly from Colonia

I've never personally discovered anything over ~2.9G but I keep my eyes open for any likely candidates wherever I go.
