Analysis has been made of 27,000 hr of VG (velocity gravity) and VGH (velocity gravity height) data obtained from 62 general aviation aircraft based throughout United States; comparisons are made between actual flight loads experienced by aircraft engaged in five types of operations and design flight envelopes for these aircraft; gust and maneuver acceleration fractions, relating actual load factors to design load factors, are indicated; airspeed and altitude operating practices are shown; landing impact acceleration distributions and limited sample of accelerations measured during individual, practice, and competitive aerobatics are presented.
