aft c of g

hmmmm,

As I understand it ,the problem with an aft c of g is more 'critical'
during landing phase, when as flaps are deployed,the centre of pressure (center of lift,aerodynamic neutral point etc) can move forwards of the c of g.

This will cause a rapid pitch up at low airspeed,which can not
always be countered by available elevator movement.
