Lisa said she would love to
However, she is going to ask Mark wear the red
bow...ha

 

Ok, maybe I’ll talk her out of that. Not sure Mark in a red bow would be a
good thing

Thanks Dave, Matt and Ken


 

I’ll get some rest and work on my math before asking the next question
I was
questioning myself on how I was reading it, glad I asked the question
.

Larry,

 

The 4 hesitations should be at 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees.  The total
number of degrees of deviation from 90, 180, 270, and 360 would be the
number of degrees of error.

 

If I understand your scenario correctly, the first point is 25 degrees off
(115 – 90 = 25).  The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th points are on target at 180, 270,
and 360.  You have a total of 25 degree errors in roll.  Applying 1 point
per 15 degrees
..you have 25 / 15 = 1.67

point deduction
. =s 8.33 which rounds to 8.5 for AMA or 8 for FAI.

 

25 degree errors in roll are quite large!!!  Penalizing the roll segment
from 115 degrees to 180 degrees because it is less than 90 degrees of
rotation would be double jeopardy.


Regards,


Dave Lockhart

OK
Here is an interesting scenario
I’m learning and wish to judge fairly and
accurately, not trying to start a debate


 

4 point roll
1st quarter roll is 115 degrees (over rotated), second is 65
degrees (corrected wings level), 3rd and 4th are 90 degrees
.No other
visible downgrades

 

RCA-23 4-point downgrade 1 states, “One-Quarter rolls more or less than 90
degrees.

 

Based on how I read it, the maneuver is scored an 8 for two quarters not
rolling 90 degrees even though the second quarter corrected to wings level.

 

The other interpretation would be the implication in item 1, is referencing
90 degrees to a vertical or horizontal plain, and not rotation, resulting in
a score of 9.

 

I’ll apologize now in advance for where this may go


 

Larry

The rules are –

 

- 1 point per 15 (FIFTEEN) degrees.  Summing partial points is allowable
(recommended).

- A “perfect maneuver” is not necessarily defect free – it is free of
defects that would warrant downgrading to a 9 (in FAI) or a 9.5 (in AMA).

- when “on the fence”, round up.  Ie, a single 7.5 degree error in is a 0.5
point downgrade, - the score in FAI is 10, not 9.

There's half-points... and while at FAI the half point doesn't go on a score
sheet... I still count them, and round down before putting the score on the
sheet.  9.5 becomes 9  7.5 becomes 7.  In your example.. he's going to have
3 or 4 half-points off for missing the points by appx 10 deg.  That puts him
to an 8. (with no other errors)

 

And again... the original said (paraphrased) "I can see a point, but can't
see deviation from the 90 deg incrimental orientations"  Thats NOT
downgradable.  If its off from the 90 enough to downgrade, you will see it.
You're trying to compare apples and elephants.  If you see the point
happened and don't see the point being off orientation... you have given no
reason for downgrade.  Its a 10.

 

You can SEE the wings being more than 5 deg off level...  If you can see
it... its worth a half point downgrade at least.  the knife is a little
harder to see being off, especially when its centered.

 

If you are consistant... you can count tenths of a point errors if you
want... then round according to your own method for a score that meets the
whole point or half point incriments that get put on the sheet.

Hi Fred. 

    Do I assume 3 flyers you are judging doing point rolls, if all elements
are done correctly, except for the points or a point, does pilot "A" who
under rotates by  10º and pilot "B" who over rotates in a point by 10º and
pilot "C" who nails the point @ 90º all get a 10 score?  All other elements
are done perfect. Not typical real world but have been their and had to
score as I interpret the rules.

The original description said the points were noted.  

No downgrade for lack of points.

 

The original description just complained "I couldn't see if the point was ON
the 90"  Well that means it was less than 15 deg off because you WOULD see
15 deg off.  

No downgrade.

 

No downgradable item was noted in the initial point roll description.

 

Its a 10

If the points are so fast as to make it indiscernible what angle they
occurred at, then I would tend to doubt whether the point occurred at all.
Score 0. It is the pilot’s responsibility to present the maneuver in such a
manner to demonstrate that the maneuver has in fact been done according to
the rules. I sincerely doubt that a 4 point can be done in 1.25 seconds with
defined stops in the roll every 90 degrees. But it remains that if, as a
judge, you cannot clearly see the relevant elements of any maneuver being
performed, then you should assume that IT HAS NOT been performed. The
elements must be demonstrated not assumed. 

 

Don Ramsey, can you clarify?

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
