Going for my Multiengine rating

There are some airplanes that are easy to load outside the
flight envelope. Many multiengine airplanes are designed to
carry passengers and baggage. With only the front seats
occupied, some ballast in the rear can be essential.

You should read some FAR 23 on flight control forces
allowed.

I have a few thousand hours teaching in multiengine aircraft
and just flying charter and delivery, from Piper Aztecs,
Beech Duchess and Barons, Dukes, King Ai r 90, 200 and 300.
Jet time is in the Beechjet 400, trust me, your life can
depend on your being able to push and pull the controls to
the limit with one leg or one hand.

I bow to your godliness..almighty one.

My Seneca is. So I don't use full flaps unless there is some aft weight.
Without anything in the back, the cg is almost at the front limit. Just
"two notches". To flare nice with full flaps invites a tail stall. Very
common and I was taught, that is why there is the abundance of nose gear
collapses in the type. Because the pounding the nose gear is given.
Rolling in nose up trim makes things easier. It is just done when over
the numbers, entering a flare.

Not likely. You will lose elevator authority, but the AOA gets
smaller as the tail moves down.

Actually, there is an AD out on the Seneca nose gear. The collapses
are generally due to misrigging of the airplane. Friend of mine has a
nosewheel collapse after a full stall, nose high landing.
