[NSRCA-discussion] SNAP ROLLS

[Doug Cronkhite]

The snap roll is quite possibly the worst maneuver for pattern aircraft
because they're simply not designed to do them. The rules are also against
you getting a good snap, as a downgrade for displacement of line is just not
realistic. There is going to be displacement during the act of getting the
wing stalled.

 

IMO, the only things that should be judged on a snap are:

 

1)       Is the wing stalled - IE Pitch break to initiate?

2)       Is there complete auto-rotation?

3)       Heading at the completion of the snap

4)       360 degree rotation.

 

Anything else SHOULD fall under the same criteria as spins where once the
aircraft is stalled the pilot is unable to control how the line moves.
