I landed at Geneva this afternoon with a land rate of -24 (soft landing) how is this triggered and a bad thing?

Thanks Daz

Hi Darren,

Bluesky apply the penalties in the following way,

Anything below -75fpm is considered dangerous and will be penalised. -100 points

The ideal Landing rate is -75 to -149 there are bonus points available if you can nail this landing +100

Heavier landings, but still acceptable range from -150 to -650, still some points are available for this rate although it's at the upper limit, if I remember right the inspection for a hard landing is around -600fpm.

Rates above -650 you get minus points as the aircraft is now out of service for inspection and maintenance.

There is another post explaining in more detail here,

Had a -48 soft landing as well; did not know there was a constraint on lower bounds.  Thanks for reference, Mark.
