[NSRCA-discussion] Landing Downgrades

[Fred Huber]

Its actually appropriate to judge Sporcsman just as critically as Masters.  If that means the average sore in 
Sportsman doing 2 loops = 5, so be it.  It may turn out that a pilot who got "1000" after normalization was averaging 5's for all his maneuvers and wins the contest. 

If you gove a 10 to a guy you could have downgraded 3 or 4 points and the next guy doing the same maneuver does it in a manner truely worthy of a 10, you can't call for the last guy's score sheet and THEN apply the downgrades.

  Well Matt.. 
      To be honest, I do belong to the consistent hard core group of judges looking for every defect I can detect to  downgrade. So color me cold hearted.  BUT.. I apply the same standard to all pilots and classes. Unfortunately, I don't go easier on sportsman as it effects my ability to stay constant. Some feel that is wrong but I have to do what I feel is truly best for the sport as a whole while honoring the judges chair. 
      Good luck in your flying and may all your flights end by your choice where and when you want to stop flying.

    Thanks Del, that's what I figured.  I don't believe anyone would be cold hearted enough to downgrade someone for turbulence when they automatically correct the wings.

      Matt.
          No downgrade from me unless their was hesitation on your part to correct your attitude & or wings level immediately after the turbulence.

        I wanted to ask a question about a landing downgrade.  Are you down graded even a half a point if you are about to touchdown all perfect and suddenly you get hit by a patch of turbulence?  Because it happened to me today while flying and I landed it ,but it would of been a prettier landing without the turbulence. lol
