In our aircraft configuration, the main wings can only carry the weight of the airplane which does not increase with tail down load. Only the angle of attack is changed. Generally, as an airplane is loaded towards Max Gross Weight, the CG moves rearward thus reducing the amount of tail down load. Does your Manuevering-speed limit (Va) change when hit with two quick vertical gusts in rapid succession? If they hit quick enough, then you, your passengers, the baggage and the fuel are at zero gravity, thus dramatically lightening the plane, when the second gust hits.
