I suspect the engines would be at constant power to save fiddling, but you will get linear acceleration +- all through the maneuver.

The downline builds airspeed while the pullup and upline dissipate it.
Likely not that much linear accel during the 0G segment.

Now for a bit of entertainment -- what is the 0G stall speed?
