Gums, I was starting to read PJ2's posting with its quote from your 1698 when a coin dropped in my mind.
I got this far, "So a constant, even a small aft stick, that is commanding maybe 1.1 gee...."
1.1 G according to which measurement facility, inertial, measured stresses on airframe, or what else? I just want to get on the same page as you since this is important.
Also important is your remark about vocabulary. The words "protections" and "limits" are seen quite differently by most people. The former gives a sense of safety and the latter gives a sense of urgency.
