Rankings Settings

Backoffice path: backoffice/settings/rankings

Available to roles: System Administrator, Administrator

Overview

The Rankings settings page controls two aspects of the leaderboard displayed on the pilot dashboard:

1. Point types — Which point categories count toward the "Top by Points" ranking.
2. Landing G-force target — The target G-force value used for the "Best Landing G-Force" ranking.

By default, only FDM (Flight Data Monitoring) evaluation points are included in the points ranking, but airlines can expand this to include other point types such as flight bonuses, repositioning rewards, spotter points, and more.

Point Types Configuration

The page displays a list of checkboxes for all known point types. Known types are automatically discovered from your airline's point history and include the following built-in types:

Point Type	Description
fdm	Points awarded from FDM flight evaluations
flight	Points from flight completion
bonus	Manually awarded bonus points
repositioning	Points from repositioning bounties
spotter	Points from approved spotter photos
manual	Manually adjusted points
contract	Points from charter contract completion
tour	Points from tour leg completion

If your airline uses custom point types, they will also appear automatically once at least one point of that type exists in the system.

Saving Point Types

1. Navigate to Backoffice > Settings > Rankings
2. Check the point types you want included in the leaderboard
3. Click Save
4. The rankings will reflect the new configuration on the next cache refresh

At least one point type must be selected at all times.

Landing G-Force Target

Below the point types card, a separate card lets you set the G-Force Target used for the "Best Landing G-Force" ranking. Pilots are ranked by how close their average landing G-force is to this target value.

Field	Description	Default
G-Force Target	The ideal landing G-force value. Pilots whose average is closest to this number rank highest.	1.0

How G-Force Ranking Works

• The ranking calculates the average landing_g_force across all accepted flights for each pilot in the current month.
• Pilots are ordered by proximity to the target (i.e., ABS(average - target)), so the pilot whose average is closest to the target ranks first.
• Flights without G-force data are excluded from the calculation.
• The G-force target must be a positive number.

Saving the G-Force Target

1. Navigate to Backoffice > Settings > Rankings
2. Enter the desired G-force value in the G-Force Target field
3. Click Save

astuce

A target of 1.0 G represents a perfectly smooth touchdown. Increasing the target (e.g., 1.2) rewards slightly firmer landings, which may better suit airlines that prioritize on-centerline, positive touchdowns.

Pilot Dashboard

The pilot-facing dashboard displays four month-to-date ranking cards:

Card	Description
Top by Points	Ranked by total points (filtered by the selected point types)
Top by Flights	Ranked by number of accepted flights
Top by Hours	Ranked by total flight time
Best Landing Rate / Best Landing G-Force	Ranked by proximity to the FPM or G-force target

The fourth ranking card includes an FPM / G toggle that lets pilots switch between the traditional landing-rate (FPM) ranking and the G-force ranking. Both views show the top 5 pilots for the current month, along with the configured target value as a subtitle.

remarque

The FPM/G toggle is a client-side control on the pilot dashboard. It does not require any backoffice configuration beyond setting the G-force target on this page.
