Snap Switch

[Gray E Fowler]

Okay someone please explain this........

A "proper" snap will change the aircraft's "heading/line".     If the 
aircraft's line is off 15 degrees it is a 1 point downgrade.  These two 
things do not mesh. It means there is no such thing as a 10 snap, unless 
the heading change is less than 7.5 degrees for a 1/2 point down grade?
If it is impossible to score a 10, then maybe the wording needs to change 
to allow for a heading/line  change.

This is exactly what was taught in the IMAC judging school I attended last 
year, conducted by Fred Johnson, who was the chief judge at the TOC and 
also is an IAC judge.   A properly executed snap will displace the 
aircraft from it's original line.

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?? ed

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.
