I have some examples:

In the T-38:

Code:

Fuel                   G's 
             Symmetrical        Unsymmetrical
3000 lbs      -2.5 to +6.0         0 to +4.3
2000 lbs      -2.7 to +6.6         0 to +4.7
1000 lbs      -2.9 to +7.2         o to +5.1

How much roll you can have is not defined, but full deflection is only allowed in 1 G flight. As far as I can remember if you had any roll rate, you had to take the asymmetrical limits.

Then the Alpha Jet

Code:

a/c weight                   G's 
             Symmetrical        Unsymmetrical
5300 kg      -3.6 to +6.8         -1.5 to +4.6
4500 kg      -3.6 to +8.0         -1.5 to +4.6
3500 kg      -3.6 to +8.0         -1.5 to +4.6

Here the asymmetrical flight is defined as full aileron deflection.
