Just a guess, but:
"Airline airplanes and other airplanes in the transport category must be capable of an upper load factor of 2.5 g" from http://http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_force#Examples_of_usage/
so under current FAR rules, a should be able to handle 9.8 (the speed of gravity) times 2.5 m/s squared which is about 24.5 m/s squared.
