Nice question.
I assume you are doing this for structural loads. Be aware that you should also make the pilot aware of the possibility of the effect of the G on lateral CG of the helicopter.
More than one Jet Ranger has tipped over because of the high loads applied only on one side of the helicopter when someone jumped on the skids.
You might try some military types for this sort of info.
