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
