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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, 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 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 386 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at LTBY Anadolu Airport, where the aircraft, a Carenado PA44, G-BGCP, successfully took off. The takeoff distance was 369 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 84 knots, and the aircraft was able to lift off the ground smoothly.
As the aircraft entered the local weather conditions, it was clear that the temperature was a relatively cool 13 degrees Celsius, and the wind was blowing at 13 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft through the left-hand pattern entry from runway 09, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds.
The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed successfully, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind leg was completed in 53 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg turn was a 45-degree angle to the runway, which the pilot successfully executed in 39.6 degrees.
The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 28 seconds, and the final turn was completed in 17 seconds. The final approach to runway 09 was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 93.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 376 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 73 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown distance was good at 384 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 620 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, and the pilot was able to taxi the aircraft to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used 3 kilograms of fuel, taking a total of 4 minutes to complete.
The Carenado PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at LTBY Anadolu Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 09 was executed from the west, with a heading of 93.0° at 1 nautical mile and 376 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the good threshold height and the pilot's ability to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 80 kt, but this was not a significant concern. The touchdown distance of 384 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 73 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The landing distance of 620 meters, which accounted for only 20% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and control. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and a headwind of 11 kt, were not particularly challenging, but the pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions was still evident.
Overall, the landing of the Carenado PA44 aircraft at LTBY Anadolu Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was also satisfactory, with a good touchdown distance and a smooth rollout.
