(268 posts)Your link is all well and good Seger, but as you are perhaps understanding by this point (well maybe not you), is that the FAA clearly defines the loads with respect to aircraft.
Anyone who has a mouse and scroll wheel can figure it out just by scrolling down through this link. I'll post and bold/underline the terms with which you obviously need help.

Again Seger, the "Limit case" for speed is Vmo. Not Vd. The margin of safety for speed is between Vmo and Vd.
§25.1505 Maximum operating limit speed.
The maximum operating limit speed (VMO/MMO airspeed or Mach Number, whichever is critical at a particular altitude) is a speed that may not be deliberately exceeded in any regime of flight (climb, cruise, or descent), unless a higher speed is authorized for flight test or pilot training operations. VMO/MMO must be established so that it is not greater than the design cruising speed VC and so that it is sufficiently below VD/MD or VDF/MDF, to make it highly improbable that the latter speeds will be inadvertently exceeded in operations. The speed margin between VMO/MMO and VD/MD or VDFM/DF may not be less than that determined under §25.335(b) or found necessary during the flight tests conducted under §25.253.
