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 |
|---|---|
| ≤ 120 fpm | 100 |
| ≤ 173 fpm | 90 |
| ≤ 253 fpm | 75 |
| ≤ 360 fpm | 55 |
| ≤ 467 fpm | 35 |
| ≤ 600 fpm | 10 |
G-force at touchdown
| Peak G | Score |
|---|---|
| ≤ 1.10 g | 100 |
| ≤ 1.22 g | 90 |
| ≤ 1.41 g | 75 |
| ≤ 1.65 g | 55 |
| ≤ 1.89 g | 35 |
| ≤ 2.20 g | 10 |
