What is the maximum positive G-load permitted?

• A. +2.4
• B. +3.0
• C. +2.0
• D. +1.8

Answer: (A)

The maximum positive G-load is the positive limit load factor the aircraft is certified to withstand in normal operations. It represents the highest upward acceleration (in g units) the structure and occupants can safely experience during flight maneuvers or turbulence, without risking structural damage. This limit is set by certification requirements and reflected in the flight manual.

For many transport-category airframes, this limit is around +2.4 G, which is why +2.4 is the correct choice here. Exceeding this value could overstress the airframe and compromise safety. The other options are either below the typical certified limit or well above what the aircraft is designed to handle in normal operation.
