[NSRCA-discussion] too far now "missed point".

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

The rule book is specific on MISSED POINTS in?POINT ROLLS, when?the?Pt Roll?is the?whole maneuver flown. 

I don't remember reading anything specific on Missed Points when?a Point Roll was an ELEMENT in another maneuver. That could be because the severe downgrade applies in either case. The argument could be made that the wrong ELEMENT was done and hence a zero is warranted. 

However, I think there is a reason why the rule book does not specifically call such things out, (and make no mistake, we have many places where Pt Rolls are elements in other maneuvers). I believe the intent is to have a single rule that applies equally whether the point roll is an element or the whole maneuver

Interesting... I just happen to be doing the judging exam?and this is one of the questions they ask to see if you know how to apply the downgrades correctly :-)

?

In the example given, the pilot missed a point so it's a 5 (or more) point downgrade as per the AMA rule book (RCA-20) ?and also the FAI rule book (pg 28 5B.4.3.3). 

?

If your suggesting it's a zero because the manouver is flown "incorrectly" then why do they have this 5 point downgrade at all? 

?

Let's go a little further... If?I was judging you at the Nats (I just might be BTW) and gave you a zero for a missed point?would you actually accept that as being a correct score???I wouldn't... so you guys are going to just have to get used to the 5 (or more)?downgrade?from me..... unless of course you don't miss the "point" to begin with.
