Snap Switch

[Ed Alt]

You basically can't do a real snap without some displacement from the original line.  Getting the heading right at recovery on the displaced line is what is important.

  Not sure if this has been discussed, but

  Isn't there a thing with snaps called Displacement, meaning as a break occurs to initiate the snap, a slight change in aircraft position, will occur.  If this slight change in lateral movement doesn't take place than it can be argued it wasn't a snap.  Some may say heading changed but I'm thinking that the heading and angle stay the same, just the entire event shifts or displaces the plane laterally.

  What say the pilots in the know??

    Yes, the heading change is a downgrade-1 point per 15 degrees off heading, A barrel roll is not a snap and earns a 0.
