Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Not only is the problem worsened, the plane will stand on its tail under a normal payload. I think Hans is missing something fundamental with the flight model and loading thereof.

Hi just chiming in here but I read somewhere that the aelion trim is not quite accurate. For Example, taking off requires more down trim than the mcdu calls for and I would suspect landing requires more down trim as well. I have noticed the ATR wants to porpoise more than other aircraft
