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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 05 at YSDU Dubbo City Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 699 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 128 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 0 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 17,210 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,256 feet from the initial altitude of 1,954 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 291 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place 12 miles east of Eumungerie, a town in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 3 miles west of Kyogle, another town in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The descent from 17,439 feet to 1,156 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,284 feet, took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This phase took place 1 mile south-west of Tumbulgum, a town in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The aircraft then began another climb, which started 1 mile west of Tumbulgum and took the aircraft from 945 feet to 1,955 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,010 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Tumbulgum. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 2 miles west of Tumbulgum and took the aircraft from 1,772 feet to 309 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,464 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another climb phase, which started overhead Tumbulgum and took the aircraft from 292 feet to 4,183 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,891 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 1 mile south of Tumbulgum and took the aircraft from 4,286 feet to 237 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,049 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at YBCG Gold Coast Airport took place from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 331.0 degrees at an altitude of 217 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing took place on runway 32, which had a length of 2,044 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 104 knots.
The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 93 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at YBCG Gold Coast Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 331.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 217 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 80 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 93 knots was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -128 feet per minute was also satisfactory, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 104 knots, but this was not considered a major issue.
The total landing distance of 1,054 meters was 52% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, resulting in a smooth and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing of the RJ85 at YBCG Gold Coast Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of speed, distance, and alignment.
