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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
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 391 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, achieving a takeoff roll of 212 m which represented 11 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 65 kt while ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern for runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 26 seconds before proceeding to the crosswind leg.
During the left-hand crosswind segment the aircraft again travelled less than 1 nm, this time in 24 seconds, maintaining alignment with the runway centreline.
The downwind turn was executed over a distance of 1 nm, establishing a 74.5 ° angle to the runway centreline as prescribed for a 45 ° turn.
The downwind leg extended 2 nm and was completed in 59 seconds, providing the aircraft with the required spacing for the subsequent base turn.
A base-leg turn of 1 nm was flown, producing a 55.1 ° angle to the runway centreline for the standard 45 ° turn geometry.
The base leg itself was less than 1 nm long and was flown in 39 seconds, positioning the aircraft for the final approach.
The final turn covered less than 1 nm and was completed in 27 seconds, aligning the aircraft with the runway heading for touchdown.
Landing was made on runway 23, whose length is 1,866 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 49 kt, slightly below the target. Touchdown occurred 389 m down the runway at 36 kt with a vertical speed of minus 14 fpm, and runway alignment was reported as very good under the same weather conditions noted at departure.
The rollout distance measured 471 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 6 nm, taking 5, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
The aircraft approached runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in temperature 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was a little below target at 49 kt.
Touchdown occurred 389 m down the runway at a speed of 36 kt, with a perfect vertical rate of minus 14 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 471 m, representing 25 % of the 1,866 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target more closely, as the threshold speed was slightly low, and continue to monitor touchdown point to keep the landing distance well within runway limits.
