Improve the takeoff
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.

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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,866 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TL3000 Sirius departed EGPE Inverness Airport from runway 23, using a take-off distance of 238 m which represented 13 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 60 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the final-approach descent the aircraft reduced altitude from 370 ft agl to 31 ft agl in 44 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate requirements.
The approach was conducted in a left-hand pattern. Entry to the pattern from runway 23 covered less than 1 nm in 26 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind leg of the same distance and duration. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with a 69.7° angle to the runway, after which the downwind leg extended 2 nm in 67 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 1 nm at a 56.9° angle, and the base leg itself was less than 1 nm in 45 seconds. The final-turn segment was also less than 1 nm and lasted 25 seconds before the aircraft entered the final approach to runway 23.
Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 1 866 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 51 kt. Touchdown occurred 330 m down the runway at 41 kt with a vertical speed of minus 32 fpm, and the aircraft aligned well with the centreline. Weather conditions remained 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 2 kt.
The total landing distance measured 454 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, took 5 (units as given), and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The TL3000 Sirius conducted the final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, descending from 370 ft agl to 31 ft agl in 44 seconds while being scored on the stabilisation gates; local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a speed slightly below target at 51 kt and achieved a good threshold height, completing the flare from the final descent altitude into the touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred 330 m down the runway at a speed of 41 kt, with a vertical rate of -32 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment described as very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 454 m, representing 24 % of the 1 866 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine future performances, adjust the approach speed to meet the exact target threshold speed and monitor the descent profile to ensure consistent altitude loss, which will help maintain the already high score of 96.8 %.
