Negative pitch attitude during cruise

Hi gentleman, excuse my ignorance, I have zero real world hours on the Turbo Otter.
I'm seeing the airplane cruising with a negative pitch attitude, around 10º nose down. Is this normal behavior or I'm doing something wrong?

The Artificial Horizon is not calibrated by default. You can calibrate it by mousing over the knob and scrolling up/down. Look out the side window or check external view for attitude. The nose may be slightly nose down at very light weights, but not 10°.

No problem! For reference, the Otter should be sitting about 9° nose up on the ground.
