Most private aircraft are not built for much stress, so I would not
want nor expect a pilot of one to pull any exceptional G forces. The
FAA "load limits" for standard aircraft are Positive 2.5 to 3.8,
Negative 1.0 to 1.52. Transport aircraft are lower numbers in negative
Gs (1.0).
Utility aircraft slightly higher (4.4 to 1.76).
Acrobatic can sustain 6.0 to negative 3.0.
When a range is given, it means depending on the manufacturer's design
and the aircraft's intended use.
If you don't fly much, a private plane at 2.0 G feels like the wings
are gonna break off.

No, I was asking about small private aircraft, you know flying for fun
and pulling some sharp turns and gee-numbers.

I couldn't remember most of what I know today
if it weren't for others sharing their knowledge
of my past on the Internet. Thank you…
