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: off the centreline and wings not level.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 386 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 1,038 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 331 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, which involved a turn from the runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The distance covered during this turn was 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn from the runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 44.9 degrees. The downwind leg of the pattern covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 87 seconds.
The base leg turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 42.9 degrees. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The final turn before landing was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 46.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 354 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, which had a length of 1,814 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target speed of 85 knots. The touchdown distance was 385 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 331 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 46.0° at 1 nautical mile and 354 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.
Upon landing on runway 05, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 85 knots. This suggests that the pilot had sufficient time to react and adjust the aircraft's speed before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 385 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown speed of 62 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This indicates that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed to achieve a safe and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft onto the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 331°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise, and the aircraft's capabilities.
