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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 23, utilizing 88% of the available runway length of 1,592 meters. The takeoff distance was within the expected parameters, and liftoff occurred at a speed of 107 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 °C, with a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern from runway 23, it maintained a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 17 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The pattern downwind turn, with an angle to the runway of 54.5°, covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself took 67 seconds to complete, while the base leg turn, with an angle to the runway of 49.5°, covered a similar distance. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 228.0° at an altitude of 238 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was executed smoothly, with a touchdown distance of 436 meters, which was within the expected parameters. The touchdown speed was 92 knots, and the touchdown rate was a smooth -109 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 20 °C, with a wind of 3 knots from 223°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a 3-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 877 meters, which accounted for 48% of the available runway length. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight utilized -290 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -109 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, allowing the pilot to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 92 kt, which was within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 436 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained perfect alignment with the centreline, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The runway rollout was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The total landing distance of 877 m, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was exemplary, with a final score of 100.0%. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 228.0 ° at 0 nm and 238 ft agl, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 111 kt was also well managed, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a safe and controlled approach. The landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
