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, https://www.jetva.co.uk/index.php/Forum/topic/4832/1
Many Thanks, Mark.

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