Aircraft

Every aircraft, graded honestly.

FLARE applies per-aircraft scoring profiles across 26 categories — from a Cessna 152 to an Airbus A380 to a Cameron Z-90 hot-air balloon. A 200 fpm touchdown isn't a hard landing in a 737 but it is in a 152, and FLARE knows the difference.

Featured aircraft

Hand-picked deep-dives — real-world landing technique, common mistakes, and FLARE's per-airframe thresholds for the 24 most-flown aircraft in MSFS 2024.
