Again, it all depends. I suspect if you work one case (esp. some TOGW, low temperature, near SL), that will be representative of the max. lift for the wing. At any other TOGW, taking that max. lift as constant, the vertical acceleration will be inversely proportional to weight. (a = F / M, right?)

Maybe someone can give us representative numbers.
