Once again you demonstrate you do not understand how to interpret the FAR's... (nor read them).
For example, "Flight Loads" (in the sense with which you are thinking) are not the same as "Limit Loads". Limit loads have a Factor of Safety of 50%. "Flight Loads" do not.
Now for reality.... which you conveniently omitted... on purpose? Or just because you didn't understand it?
This is what you quoted...
"Flight load factors represent the ratio of the aerodynamic force component (acting normal to the assumed longitudinal axis of the airplane) to the weight of the airplane."
This is what you omitted.
A positive load factor is one in which the aerodynamic force acts upward with respect to the airplane.
Note the bold. In other words, the vertical axis.
You should listen to Beachy... he is closer than you with his 1.2 VD quoted above. But there is a reason why he failed to provide the source. Once he does, you may understand why he failed to source it. Here is a hint, he quoted a CAR, not an FAR.
If you wish to actually learn something, I know many Flight Instructors, ATP rated Heavy Jet Capts and Aeronautical Engineers who can teach you... .but they may charge you. And no, they aren't listed at P4T. Some people just don't wish to be attacked on the net by people like you.
Let me know...
