I should have said "I'm curious about why the G loading (airbrakes
closed) is lower at Vne than at Va". Perhaps it is to absorb gusts, or
to allow greater control deflections.

The only physical reason I see is that there is a torsional stress on
the wing, increasing with the square of the speed, and which might add
somewhere to the bending stress due to G loading.

Another reason is that the certification standards don't require the
same limitation in G-loads at VNE that at Va, and the flight manual
reflects that...
