Neither of the two RAE documents have any data on G onset rates even in the Tabular results presented.

Well, unless I misunderstand my long-ago mechanics/physics classes, G is acceleration which is all about change of state versus time so 0.1G is 0.1G however fast you get there. So if a cutout occurs at 0.1G, that is where it cuts out. The 'onset' seems to me to be about how quickly you get to 0.1G and the only two things I can think of that 'onset' would affect is the
perception of how 'sensitive' the cutout is - "blimey, if I
really shove the stick it cuts out a lot quicker" - but still at the same G level and I suppose a slow onset might enable the carburettor to stay with it a little longer but are we splitting hairs?
