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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,668 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,668 m of the 3,660 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 527 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at KHHR Jack Northrop Field, a movement that lasted less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the Challenger 350 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 608 m, representing 45 % of the runway, and lifted off at 125 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, with a cross-wind component of 0 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Hawthorne, California, with the aircraft ascending from 1,075 ft asl to 45,029 ft asl, an increase of 43,954 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 114 nm.
The first cruise segment began 4 mi south of KDAG Barstow Daggett Airport, California, and continued for 62 minutes, during which 506 nm were flown.
Descent started 4 mi southeast of Crawford, Colorado, with altitude decreasing from 44,416 ft asl to 7,977 ft asl, a loss of 36,439 ft over 30 minutes and a distance of 182 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiating 1 mi southwest of 18V Platte Valley, Colorado, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The next descent began 2 mi north of 18V Platte Valley, Colorado, dropping from 7,980 ft asl to 7,023 ft asl, a reduction of 957 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
A further cruise segment started 1 mi northwest of 7CO3 Lindys Airpark, Hudson, Colorado, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport was conducted from the north, on a heading of 179.0°, at 4 nm distance and 1,175 ft agl.
Landing on runway 17L, which is 3,660 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 122 kt. Touchdown was recorded 196 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 111 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 332 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. Local weather at the time showed a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,672 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that took 13 minutes and spanned 3 nm.
In total, the flight covered 831 nm, required 136 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,809 kg of fuel.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 received a final score of 92.2 % after a final approach to runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport from the north, flying a heading of 179.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,175 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 122 kt, and the flare was executed with the aircraft crossing the threshold at this marginally high speed while maintaining good threshold height.
Touchdown occurred 196 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 111 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 332 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,672 m, representing 46 % of the 3,660 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 1 kt at 269 °, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt.
Reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold of 122 kt to eliminate the slight excess. Aim to achieve a touchdown speed closer to VREF to improve energy management and produce a smoother touchdown.
