Ok, I'm hijacking this thread because there's some confusion about 'limit' load. http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFAR.nsf/0/B283B63C33AC70

  You're not hijacking it, just adding some contextual information, namely: "Strength requirements are specified in terms of limit loads (the maximum loads to be expected in service) and ultimate loads (limit loads multiplied by prescribed factors of safety). Unless otherwise provided, prescribed loads are limit loads."

  Was that an airplane joke?
