FAA approach category C/D Typical Vref 110 to 160 kt 14 aircraft

Target for descent rate

100 to 200fpm

Full marks for descent rate up to 200 fpm; under 100 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≤ 200fpm

90≤ 267fpm

75≤ 367fpm

55≤ 500fpm

35≤ 633fpm

10≤ 800fpm

G-force at touchdown (g)The category's own curve.

100≤ 1.10g

90≤ 1.20g

75≤ 1.35g

55≤ 1.55g

35≤ 1.75g

10≤ 2.00g

Ideal touchdown zone: 150 to 460mpast the threshold
Tail-strike limit: 12°pitch at touchdown
Approach-speed tolerance: ±4%of Vref, at least 10 kt

The 14 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.
