"one point per X degrees" applies to the direction of the line with respect to
the intended direction. If my flight path is 15 degrees off from vertical
than I get the deduction. The execution of a snap simply translates the
position of the plane from its original line (vertical, lets say) to a new line
(still vertical, just in a different place than where it
began).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

please explain this........</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>A
"proper" snap will change the aircraft's "heading/line". If the
aircraft's line is off 15 degrees it is a 1 point downgrade. These two
things do not mesh. It means there is no such thing as a 10 snap, unless the
heading change is less than 7.5 degrees for a 1/2 point down grade?<BR>If it
is impossible to score a 10, then maybe the wording needs to change to allow
for a heading/line change.<BR><BR><BR>Gray Fowler<BR>Principal Chemical

there a thing with snaps called Displacement, meaning as a break occurs to
initiate the snap, a slight change in aircraft position, will occur. If
this slight change in lateral movement doesn't take place than it can be
argued it wasn't a snap. Some may say heading changed but I'm thinking
that the heading and angle stay the same, just the entire event shifts or
displaces the plane laterally. What say the pilots in the know?? ed </FONT>
