Rotorcraft (Helicopter)
Vertical rate at touchdown
Up to 100fpm
Full marks for the vertical rate at touchdown up to 100 fpm, on the rotorcraft curve; no note for a soft touchdown.
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.
- Approach-speed tolerance
- ±15kt
Not part of this category's grade: a touchdown-zone window and a tail-strike check.
The 40 aircraft in it.
Every one of them is held to the curves above. One of them carries a Vref of its own, adjusted to the weight you land at; for the rest Roundout sets no approach-speed target.
