Scoring thresholds
FLARE applies these curves to any aircraft in this category that doesn't have an aircraft-specific override. Score values map 0–100 per criterion; the composite formula is documented in the scoring methodology.
Descent rate at touchdown
| fpm | Score |
|---|---|
| ≤ 200 fpm | 100 |
| ≤ 278 fpm | 90 |
| ≤ 394 fpm | 75 |
| ≤ 550 fpm | 55 |
| ≤ 706 fpm | 35 |
| ≤ 900 fpm | 10 |
G-force at touchdown
| Peak G | Score |
|---|---|
| ≤ 1.10 g | 100 |
| ≤ 1.20 g | 90 |
| ≤ 1.35 g | 75 |
| ≤ 1.55 g | 55 |
| ≤ 1.75 g | 35 |
| ≤ 2.00 g | 10 |
