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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 333 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at EGTE Exeter International Airport in 21 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08, the TBM 850 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 796 m, representing 39 % of the runway, and lifted off at 94 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, with zero cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of Aylesbeare, Devon, with the aircraft ascending from 1,144 ft asl to 7,009 ft asl-a gain of 5,865 ft-in 3 minutes while covering 8 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Otterton, Devon, and continued for 24 minutes, during which 98 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 2 miles north-west of EGJB Guernsey Airport, descending from 6,676 ft asl to 2,223 ft asl, a loss of 4,453 ft in 5 minutes and covering 19 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 10 miles west of EGJJ Jersey Airport, lasting 13 minutes and encompassing 38 nm of level flight.
Final approach to runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport involved a descent from 1,605 ft agl to 176 ft agl over 136 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 08 was executed with a threshold speed of 93 kt; touchdown occurred at 65 kt, 333 m down the runway, and the vertical speed was -147 fpm. The touchdown point was 3.1 m off centreline, and the total landing distance measured 600 m, equivalent to 37 % of the runway. Local conditions were temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, zero cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, completing the landing phase without deviation.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 172 nm, required 55 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 16 kg of fuel.
The TBM 850 executed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the descent from 1,605 ft agl to 176 ft agl was completed in 136 seconds on runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport; the overall score was 98.7 %.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft passed the threshold at a height of 60 ft agl, which was noted as slightly above target, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 93 kt.
Touchdown occurred 333 m down the runway at a speed of 65 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 147 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 600 m, representing 37 % of the 1,644 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To refine future performances, aim to achieve the exact target threshold height and reduce the 3.1 m centreline deviation at touchdown, which will further optimise alignment and consistency.
