FLARE is now Roundout. Same licence, same landings.

Light Warbird

FAA approach category B Typical Vref 90 to 115 kt 25 aircraft

Target for descent rate

Up to 75fpm

Full marks for descent rate up to 75 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.

Descent rate at touchdown (fpm)The score at each point of the curve.
100≤ 75fpm
90≤ 144fpm
75≤ 249fpm
55≤ 388fpm
35≤ 526fpm
10≤ 700fpm
G-force at touchdown (g)The category's own curve.
100≤ 1.10g

The 25 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.
