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 1,871 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 341 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 13 at KFHB Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, with a takeoff distance of 557 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 120 degrees, with no crosswind and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KFHB Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 640 feet above sea level to 3,762 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,122 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northeast of KNRB Naval Station Mayport / Admiral David L McDonald Field Jacksonville, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Neptune Beach, where the aircraft descended from 4,189 feet above sea level to 836 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,354 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise then began 3 miles east of Nocatee, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at KSGJ Northeast Florida Regional Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 128.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 657 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 341 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 84 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -81 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 79 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 633 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 54 nautical miles, took 25 minutes, and used 76 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a M500, successfully landed at KSGJ Northeast Florida Regional Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 128.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 657 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft performed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 89 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 341 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 84 knots was slightly faster than ideal, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to make some adjustments to achieve a more optimal speed.
The landing rate of -81 feet per minute was an excellent indicator of the pilot's skill, as it demonstrated a high degree of control over the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 79°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have presented any significant challenges for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 633 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance and indicates that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the M500 at KSGJ Northeast Florida Regional Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in their handling of the aircraft.
