Do commercial flights have actual limits?
For the small, general aviation airplanes I fly, there is no "limit". The Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH- the airplane version of owner's manual) lists what the factory test pilots demonstrated during certification, but it is not a legal limit. Pilot's are allowed to exceed it if they so choose.
