[NSRCA-discussion] Judging Question

[Gerald Budd]

There’s no downgrade for a maneuver not being flown at constant speed.  Style (or presentation) is not a judge-able metric as it is inherently subjective.  However, there’s nothing to keep the pilot from flying a presentation that makes it easy for the judges to forget to apply all of the downgrades that the rest of the pilots observe while watching the flight back in the pits.  ;-)

However, if a particular judge can see both and he or she has been downgrading during the contest for both he or she will be correct since I think  this maneuver should be symmetrical.  Lets be aware that pilot could change plane speed to make it symmetrical and get only one downgrade.  However, that could be another downgrade for not constant speed.  Clearly the stuff we do is not easy.

If the maneuver finishes the first roll just before center (as it should) then changes the roll rate causing the line length of the second roll to be different from the first, should this be considered a centering error in additon to the change in roll rate.
