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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,689 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TBM 850 departed Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield (EGCJ) from runway 28L, accelerating down a 578 m take-off run that represented 94 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 88 kt while the local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, a wind of 2 kt from 270°, zero cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft passed overhead the airfield and rose from 1,046 ft asl to 3,342 ft asl, a gain of 2,296 ft in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
Cruise commenced 2 mi south-west of Scholes in the City and Borough of Leeds and was maintained for 42 minutes, during which 159 nm were flown.
The descent began 1 mi west of Hannington, Hampshire, with the aircraft descending from 3,340 ft asl to 676 ft asl, a loss of 2,664 ft in 4 minutes and a distance of 11 nm.
The approach concluded on runway 09 at Lasham Airfield (EGHL), whose length is 1,689 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 98 kt and the touchdown speed recorded was 84 kt.
Touchdown occurred 396 m down the runway with a vertical speed of minus 88 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the centreline. The total landing distance measured 849 m, representing 50 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 180 nm, taking 55 and consuming 156 kg of fuel.
The aircraft approached runway 09 at EGHL Lasham Airfield in light wind, temperature 16 °C, with a 2 kt wind from 270° and a 2 kt tailwind component; crosswind was zero.
The threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at 98 kt, slightly above the target speed.
Touchdown occurred 396 m down the runway at a speed of 84 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 88 fpm, and the aircraft was aligned perfectly with the runway centreline.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 849 m, representing 50 % of the 1,689 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the threshold crossing speed to meet the target value, which will further tighten the already excellent score of 99.6 %. Maintaining the current flare technique will preserve the excellent touchdown rate and alignment.
