Narrow-Body Airliner

FAA approach category C/D Typical Vref 120 to 150 kt 33 aircraft

Target for descent rate

50 to 100fpm

Full marks for descent rate up to 100 fpm; under 50 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.

The 33 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.
