right Peter.. The beauty of that period of flying anyone with an Ugly stick or
under powered kadet could enter and fly pattern. Attendance at meets was
amazing at most parts of country. That style did get some heat as blamed for
loss of fields from over flights of homes etc. but if the full truth were to be
looked at all flying endeavors loud and noisy aircraft flying near and over
homes was the bigger culprit. Pattern was at the forefront of addressing that
and mandating a reasonable sound level at the nats especially but bonus points
could be award for quiet aircraft and penalties for noisy planes. </span></font></b></strong><font

other big advantage was as recently petitioned people would come out and enjoy
themselves flying after only practicing the weekend before if at all and do
fairly well sometimes. The changes have hurt overall mass attendance but the
quality of the flying by competitors has improved dramatically. Some like that
tradeoff. Others not so much. Partially because of increased expenses to
compete means they can't participate and still feel they made a reasonable

appear that the FAI is going down the same road as IMAC, with IMAC's subjective
"airspace control" factor. The smoothness and gracefulness 25%
gives a judge a non-objective way to give a downgrade of 2 to 3 points.
Since there is no scoring criteria for it that I could find, other than Michael
Ramel's instructions to the judges at the WC, I'm not sure what we do with
it. I would think that his instructions would have been protestable, if
anyone had wanted to go down that path, since I'm unaware of any official FAI
rule interpretation saying, for example, that constant speed is a part of
smoothness and gracefulness. I'm sure he was just trying to give meaning
to a poorly writen criteria.</span></font><font color=black><span

the answer, by your own math, is that a geometrically perfect maneuver can't be
beaten purely by other criteria. With geometry making up 50% of the

There has never been guidance for s+g downgrades in AMA or FAI.....which is why
I have always advocated s+g should be eliminated from the judging criteria.
Of course if I am mistaken about the goal of pattern being precision
aerobatics, then maybe s+g should be the only criteria.<br>
<br>
I've never gotten an answer to this question. How can a geometrically
perfect maneuver be outscored by a geometrically flawed maneuver? Of
course with the new FAI scoring.....it would seem that geometrically perfect
maneuver might only be scored a 5.<br>
