This depends on the type of aircraft that you're referring to. However, it's probably normal.
For example, the Cessna 172 is small enough that, if you tried, you can actually climb onto the "roof" by getting on the area in front of the windshields. (though I doubt anyone would actually do that... I'm just saying to compare sizes)
The Cessna Citation and other smaller aircraft, business jets and historical aircraft are generally small, also, as the top of their fuselages are roughly 5 to 15 feet from the ground. This is probably also the height from the ground to the floor of the cockpit of the A380.
If the planes you're referring to are these kinds of aircraft, then that's perfectly fine.
What becomes a major problem is if the same thing is happening to aircraft that should be similar in size to your aircraft, such as the Boeing 777, or the AI models for the 747. ...Hopefully, that isn't happening, since I've never heard of such a problem before...
Look for "B-BIRD" "N127KY" or "AVA0004" -that's me.
