Is J2 the socket for the PIC, or is it going through cables to the PIC

What are the trace lengths on the loop from Q1 source (ground), to the
nearest bypass capacitor on +12VR, through D5, back to Q1? (Hint: D5 must
be placed at Q1, not at the coil.)
Why? It will clamp a flyback overshoot wherever it is in the circuit.
If the wiring from FET to coil is significantly inductive, then what?
