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 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 2,341 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,341 m of the 2,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 367 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by FWB EasyJet, a modified aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 11 at NVVV Bauerfield International Airport, located in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 162 knots, covering a distance of 1,031 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,103 feet above sea level to 3,918 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,815 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles southeast of Port Vila and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 4,013 feet above sea level to 4,507 feet above sea level, an increase of 495 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 15 miles west of Port Vila. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,515 feet above sea level to 3,871 feet above sea level, a decrease of 644 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 10 miles west of the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,322 feet above sea level to 758 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,564 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at NVVV Bauerfield International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 117.0° at an altitude of 685 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown distance of 365 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -325 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,258 meters, which was 87% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft took approximately 8 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 49 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 768 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at NVVV Bauerfield International Airport, achieving a score of 89.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 117.0° at 2 nautical miles and 685 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 11, which has a length of 2,591 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 134 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 365 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -325 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 7.7 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,258 meters was 87% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations that did not significantly impact the overall performance.
