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 432 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE), the FFX P180 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 107 kt. The aircraft utilized 88% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 1,592 meters before lifting off into the air. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 29 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with precision, requiring a distance of less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 2 nm. The downwind leg was flown for 70 seconds, followed by a base leg turn, which was completed in 2 nm. The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at 0 nm and 244 ft above ground level.
The FFX P180 aircraft touched down on the runway with a smooth touchdown rate of -112 fpm, achieving a touchdown speed of 93 kt. The touchdown distance was good, covering 433 meters of the available runway length. The total landing distance was 856 meters, representing 47% of the runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out perfectly, aligning with the runway centerline. The flight utilized a total of 9 nm of distance, consuming 27 kg of fuel in the process.
The aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport from the north east, aligning with the runway heading of 228.0° at 0 nm and 244 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 111 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down smoothly at a speed of 93 kt and a rate of -112 fpm. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 433 m, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its rollout phase, maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it traversed the runway. The total landing distance of 856 m was 47% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled stop. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The overall performance of the aircraft was outstanding, with a score of 100.0%. The combination of a smooth touchdown, good runway alignment, and controlled rollout resulted in a flawless landing. The crew's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach and landing phases, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and expertise.
