Pattern Fun / scribe

[Tony Stillman]

That's the reason that you want to write scores down on a legal pad.  You can go back and double-check yourself.

  So the pilot is doing his best presentation so far with his wife doing the calling as they have for many years.  It is getting late .  This is real concentration.  He is doing very well.

  Then all of a sudden he entirely blows a maneuver and for safety he goes up.

  You can imagine the confusion. What line are we on now??

    Most folks, being honest, would have to admit they DO NOT know all the classes...which raises the question of "what if the pilot's caller doesn't call loudly enough for you to hear?", or better yet, "what if the CALLER calls the INCORRECT maneuver?" [Nah, NEVER would happen]

    Then, where's the judge at...an ugly place....

    I saw a pilot do a 3/4 roll on a humpty that should have been 1/4....zeroed him...the OTHER judge "didn't see that", so he scored it a 7 or something...and since we weren't conferring, guess what?

    SEVERAL people were REALLY interested in why there was a difference...except the pilot....hmm...

      How do you memorize all the different classes of maneuvers? I can't memorize
      my own let alone all the others.
