Also, to fly a manoeuvre accurately your eyes will be outside, not watching a g meter. A g meter will show the highest and lowest level achieved since reset, but if the pilot is dumb enough to they're probably dumb-enough to reset it afterwards - hence logging g meters in some aircraft. A final thought, cocked-up aeros don't only lead to gz overstress.

A max rate (steep turn) in a high performance aircrft, at a good speed, you're on the pre stall "nibble" all the way round. The turn doesn't have to be level. I.E. maintaning altitude.
Same with a well flown loop, you are on the nibble in certain stages of the manoeuvre. However i do stand to be corrected.
