Tailwheel / Aerobatic
Target for descent rate
Up to 50fpm
Full marks for descent rate up to 50 fpm, and no note for a soft touchdown: a feather-light arrival is the right technique here.
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.
- Ideal touchdown zone
- 30 to 150mpast the threshold
- Tail-strike limit
- 12°1 of its aircraft have their own
- Approach-speed tolerance
- ±9%of Vref, at least 10 kt
The 39 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.
