    the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight and level flight.

    (As seen in the videos, load factor increases in relationship with total lift. Total lift increases when the aircraft is turning or climbing/descending, aka “maneuvers other than straight and level flight”. The gross weight does have a detrimental effect on load factor as well but only when it increases (more weight = more lift = more load factor). Finally, the location of the CG does not have an effect on load factor. See “Load Factor” video for more information.)
