Hot Air Balloon
Target for descent rate
Up to 100fpm
Full marks for descent rate up to 100 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.
- Approach-speed tolerance
- ±15kt
Not part of this category's grade: a touchdown-zone window and a tail-strike check.
The 5 aircraft in it.
Every one of them is held to the curves above. None of them has a Vref, so Roundout sets no approach-speed target for them.
