There’s even an alert for weight and balance when your center of gravity is out of limits. IN-FLIGHT ALERTS 500 AGL Alerts – Alerts when descending through 500 ft. AGL after having been above 1,000 ft. AGL (or when AGL is unknown), the descent rate exceeds 4,000 ft. AGL and 3000′ ft.

Over the years we’ve flown a lot of aircraft with “aft-tending” centers of gravity—if you filled the seats, you were outside the aft CG limit, and the rear seats in six-place airplanes were unusable. The yaw damper automatically activates when 250 feet up on takeoff and deactivates at 200 feet agl on landing.

Fixed-Wing Foibles Consider the Airbus first officer (FO) who tried to satisfy ATCs request to increase their descent (rate), so he engaged open descent mode. The captain took control and applied aft stick pressure to return the airplane to a normal descent pitch attitude to prevent an overspeed. Other than that, what?

This tendency is due to their high center of gravity and heavy engine over the nose wheel. If you’re not stabilized at 200 feet AGL, go around. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. In extreme cases, a nose-over can occur.
