The rating system gives an aircraft a 0–5 score in four areas - ''[[FDM]]'', ''systems'', ''cockpit'' and ''external model''.  These ratings can then be encoded in the aircraft -set.xml file from where they can be picked up by launchers, web pages etc.  The sum of the scores in the four criteria provides an overall 0–20 score, which can be mapped to a textual overall aircraft status.

As of 09/2016, there are 173 unrated aircraft in FGAddon - mainly from very old but interesting aircraft in which the author has long left the FlightGear world. To give each a fair fdm, systems, cockpit, and model rating will require a lot of testing, investigation and time. <ref>{{cite web
