RealFlight G3 Manual - Great Planes Software Support

RealFlight G3 automatically applies the rules you choose, and keeps track of scores.
During the event, the announcer’s voice will guide you through each phase of the
competition.
RULES
The Autorotation/Deadstick course consists of a target:
The object of the Autorotation/Deadstick event is to fly your model over the target,
kill the engine, then touch down as close as possible to the center of the target.
Players take turns making landing attempts. When your turn comes, you will
normally take off, gain altitude until you are above the minimum Throttle Cut
Altitude, fly towards the target, and then kill your engine and autorotate or glide to
the ground.
If the host so decides, you must kill your engine before dropping below the minimum
altitude to kill engine. Alternatively, the host can decide that your engine will
automatically shut off when you pass below this altitude. The host must also decide
on the minimum Throttle Cut Altitude.
A “touch down” occurs when any part of your airplane or heli touches ground. Each
touch down is marked with an ‘X’ on the spot at which the aircraft landed.
Please note: this is not necessarily the point at which the aircraft stopped moving.
An “attempt” means you have passed below the minimum altitude to kill your
engine. Once your engine is killed, you cannot reactivate it until your turn expires.
Additionally, you must land successfully (without crashing) to receive any points for
your attempt.
Furthermore, you must complete your landing before your turn time expires. If you
do not touch down in time, you lose your turn.
The points you receive during a turn are dependent upon where you touch down.
Within the target, each colored zone has a different point value. Normally, the closer
to the center you land, the more points you will receive. Your touch down point is
the point on the ground directly below the center of your aircraft, no matter what part
of your aircraft touches first.
