See Departure Roll
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado PA44 with registration G-BGCP, was then ready to depart from runway 15 at UBBY Zaqatala International Airport. The takeoff distance was 557 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 80 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 339 degrees. This resulted in a tailwind of 9 knots, which would have a significant impact on the flight's performance. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 15, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 26 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 25 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness.
The flight then proceeded to the pattern downwind leg, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 79 seconds. The pattern base leg turn was completed with a distance of 0 nautical miles, and the aircraft turned at an angle of 13.6 degrees to align with the runway. The final approach to runway 15 was made from the north-west, with a heading of 156.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 92 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 was successful, with the touchdown point being 136 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 8 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 340 degrees.
In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 6 nautical miles, taking approximately 4 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and performance. Overall, the flight was a success, with the aircraft performing well in various conditions.
The PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at UBBY Zaqatala International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, aligning with the runway 15 threshold at a heading of 156.0°. At the point of landing, the aircraft was at an altitude of 92 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 2,094 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was at a suitable altitude for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal, reaching 86 knots. This may have been due to various factors, including the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilot's decision-making.
The touchdown point was located 136 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown rate of 8 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly high threshold speed.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
