Snap Switch

[Wayne Galligan]

Don Ramsey we need your input here.  

 Does the offset of the line due to the snap cause a deduction if the line is still parallel to the flight line?

  Correct.  The starting and end locations of the loop would Not be the same point in space.

    Hello Gray, 
      
    The "one point per X degrees" applies to the direction of the line with respect to the intended direction.  If my flight path is 15 degrees off from vertical than I get the deduction.  The execution of a snap simply translates the position of the plane from its original line (vertical, lets say) to a new line (still vertical, just in a different place than where it began).

    So what about an avalanche where the line gets shifted left or right? No deduction even though the loop is messed up?
