Do a commercial pilot really need to know his present Load factor in Flight during a maneuver ? , If so then which instrument is built for it ? , Does any commercial aircraft use it ?
Or
Does the rule says " Pilots are not supposed to do any abrupt maneuvers causing discomfort to pax and hence no need of load factor measuring equipment in a/c ? ( But load factor changes due gust and/or If a pilot tries a load factor changing maneuver for saving an a/c)

Then why we are supposed to learn Load factor limits for smaller a/c as well as for bigger a/c ? eg : clean configuration - load factor = -1g to 2.5g

Being knowledgeable of one's aircraft and its limitations is generally considered a good thing.
