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.

It is the responsibility of the aircraft maintainer/developer if there is an active one. The rating system was specifically setup to be easy for the aircraft maintainer/developer to do because it assumes that the person doing the rating is very familiar with both the real-life aircraft specifications and systems and knows how close the model is to those. The procedure is very brief, more so any update.
