[Ready to buy a cargo version]

I love that the A300-600F has been confirmed, but I'd please ask to maybe consider the A300-600R passenger variant. So many iconic airlines flew that type, even until recently, that I'd love to see it given a good treatment.

I'd happily pay good money for that alongside the A306F.

Please try with heavy weights- ZFW 240000lbs +. When you do you will see this behavior every time.  Additionally AFDS does not cope with high wing loading, and moves into shaker territory through initial departure turns.  Requires AP disco and manual flight.  The flight is within the envelope- just outside AP capabilities.

I've noticed the same thing in 2 long haul flights I've done, around the 235klbs range. The rotation on the way out each time was more than an easy stick pull, it required an abnormal amount of backpressure to unstick.

I can provide a video of that if necessary, but I would say it is worth a test. This was at JFK, 236klbs, I believe CG came out to about 23% and 1.7 ANU. CG didn't seem right, but I generally fly the A320, so I have no idea; the loads were put in via the EFB.
