[NSRCA-discussion] Judging the Snap

[Larry Diamond]

I can live with that. The implication is that the tail and nose are on
different plains in relation to the flight path during the rotation. The
size of the conical shape of the tail or nose rotation is not a reason to
deduct. However it must be detectable, meaning the judge must see it. Or it
is a barrel or axial roll and not a snap.

 

What I was really after was to understand better what visual cues should we
be looking for to determine if a Snap occurred. I think this can benefit a
number of us to properly judge a very difficult maneuver to both perform
correctly and judge.

 

Also, I forgot to ask, if an element such as a snap or a roll is an element
in a maneuver and not completed (i.e. no/zeroed snap, wrong or no roll), the
maneuver as a whole is zeroed, correct?

 

When we judge, are you watching the tail, the fuse near CG, the nose?
Somehow watching the whole plane and then determining what just occurred in
about .2 seconds.

 

Best Regards,

 

Larry Diamond

I was hoping not to get dragged into this but  I was trying to paraphrase
the FAI position. Which as I understand it if isn't an axial roll and it
isn't a barrel roll than it it a snap.

Considering what snaps have evolved to today, there is only one criterion.
"If it's not a roll, it's a snap."  With credit to Anthony Romano.
