I think a distinction has to be made between accelerated & unaccelerated flight.

Accel. flight lets you bump up the quantity by whatever load factor you apply.

Unaccel. flight resolves about balanced forces ie a steady state.

If the flare - one example of accel. flight - is allowed then I'll bid for a simple, high 'g' manouevre eg high pitch rate or the steepest turn the a/c'd Thrust will allow.
