[NSRCA-discussion] Judging Question

[Dean Pappas]

Hi,
It's not wrong, but it isn't a requirement either. It has nice pacing, though ...
 
I have seen very "fluid" point rolls that still had that "click" at each point, and of course, fluid point rolls that never really stopped.
One is absolutely non-downgradeable and the other has missing elements.
On the other hand,
I have seen point rolls that were "banged" from one point to the next but the pilot never "locked up" the point as he was still searching for the 90 degree angle for a half second or so after the point was supposed to be demonstrated. 
 
When conducting a judging class, I suggest that you look/listen for the "click" as the pilot hits the point. It can happen in fluid rolls just as well as in the rolls with discrete points. If a pilot executes the "click" it only takes a tenth of a second to demonstrate a good point.

I was taught to stay on the point as long as it took you to get to the point, is that wrong?

Randy,

 

You as the Judge must not guess whether something happened or did not. The pilot should produce a maneuver that is easy to judge. If he fails to show you what is needed, and you are not sure that he did show you, then it's your responsibility to downgrade.

Ok time to get back to our favorite list questions.

This comes from a real life judging problem.  The question is about the 4-point roll.  This what I am seeing.  A 4 point roll that takes less than 1.25 second to complete.  You can see 4 very short pauses.  The manever appears to be centered.  I see no change in height or coming in or out.  It appears to be between 150M and 175M.  But the pauses are so short that I cannot really tell if the rolls between pauses are 90 degrees.  So I cannot see what the 1 point per 15 degree down grade should be.


What would you do?


Randy
