FLARE is now Roundout. Same licence, same landings.

High-Performance Single

FAA approach category A Typical Vref 65 to 90 kt 30 aircraft

Target for descent rate

40 to 80fpm

Full marks for descent rate up to 80 fpm; under 40 fpm the coach says the touchdown was softer than this aircraft is normally flown.

Scoring thresholds.

Roundout applies these to every aircraft in this category, except where an aircraft carries its own G-force curve or tail-strike limit. Scores fall in a straight line between the points, from 0 to 100 for each part; the composite formula is in the scoring methodology.

Descent rate at touchdown (fpm)The score at each point of the curve.
100≤ 80fpm
90≤ 138fpm
75≤ 224fpm
55≤ 340fpm
35≤ 456fpm
10≤ 600fpm
G-force at touchdown (g)The category's own curve.
100≤ 1.10g
90≤ 1.20g
75≤ 1.35g
55≤ 1.55g

The 30 aircraft in it.

Every one of them is held to the target above. What sets them apart is their own Vref, quoted at the reference weight, usually the maximum landing weight; Roundout adjusts it to the weight you land at.
