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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 4,627 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,627 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 876 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the TBM 930 began with a smooth departure roll on runway 27R at KSEE Gillespie Field. The takeoff distance was 1,349 ft, which accounted for 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 90 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was hot with a temperature of 90 °F and a wind speed of 11 knots coming from 259 °, resulting in a 4 knot crosswind and a 10 knot headwind.
After takeoff, the pilot made a left hand pattern entry from runway 27R at KSEE Gillespie Field, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 7 seconds. This was followed by a left hand pattern crosswind from the same runway, covering a similar distance in 14 seconds. The pilot then made a pattern downwind turn, flying 1 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway heading (167.0 °).
The landing phase of the flight was executed with precision on runway 27R at KSEE Gillespie Field, which had a runway length of 4,627 ft. The height at the threshold was 14 ft above the ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 82 knots. The touchdown occurred 870 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a VSI of -150 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was slightly warmer at 91 °F, with a wind speed of 11 knots coming from 260 °, resulting in a 4 knot crosswind and a 10 knot headwind.
The total landing distance covered was 1,916 ft, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 2 nm, taking 2 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 16 lbs of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was smooth and successfully executed by the pilot of the TBM 930.
