Nope. See p.135 of Vehicles 2e. aMR is defined there as the maximum safe laod of Gs that a vehicle can withstand while maneuvering in flight. In RW vehcile write-ups this probably ends up beign described as "G-loading" with an F-16 having one of slightly more than 9.
aAccel can be found from "thrust-to-weigh ratio" or computed from takeoff weight (sometimes distinguished as light/air-to-air and heavy) and thrust. An F-16's thrust-to-weight of 1 to 1 translates to an aAccel of 20mph/second.
