Judges Home Study Course Refresher - 2009
1. What is the deduction for the error in the following figure (FIG 6)



1 point
2 points
3 points
4 points

2. For the following sequence of figures: (FIG.11)



One (1) "low" altitude infringement against figure 8 and one (1) "low" altitude infringement against figure 9.
One (1) "low" altitude infringement against figure 8 and one (1) "low" altitude infringement against figure 9 with an additional "low-low" (more than 50 metres "low" altitude infringement against figure 9.
One (1) "low" altitude infringement against figure 8 and two (2) "low" altitude infringements against figure 9.
One (1) "low" altitude infringement against figure 8 and two (2) "low" altitude infringements against figure 9 with an additional "low-low" (more than 50 metres low) altitude infringement against figure 9.

3. Considering the figure, if the slide backwards was not at least a half fuselage length, the appropriate downgrade is: (FIG. 10)



Zero
At least 2 points
No downgrade

4. In the following figure, which radii must be equal? (FIG. 5)



All radii must be equal
The entry and exit radii must be equal
All radii may be different
The entry and half loop radii must be equal, the exit radius may be different

5. In relation to the positioning of figures in the performance zone a judge needs to consider the optimum position of each figure flown Any bad presentation of a figure in the performance zone will cause a further reduction in their score of

0.5 point
1.0 point
0.5 to 1.0 point, depending on the severity
At least 1 point, depending on the severity

6. As a competitor performs the following figure, the second half of the two-point roll appears to be integrated within a 10 degree arc of the half loop. (FIG. 4)



Zero
At least 2 point
At least 1 point

7. A Competitor is required to fly the figures below (FIG. 13)



Mark figure 2, 3, and 4 normally
Mark figure 2 normally, Zero figure 3, mark figure 4 normally
Mark figure 2 normally, Zero figure 3, Zero figure 4
Mark figure 2 normally, annotate an “insertion” in the remarks section of figure 3 and Zero figure 3, mark figure 4 normally

8. A competitor performs the following figure After the 3/4 roll on the up-line, which was over-rotated by 5 degrees, the aircraft’s zero lift axis is observed 5 degrees short of the vertical, maintains this attitude during the slide backward, and then a 5 deg error is observed in 2 of the 4 hesitations of the hesitation roll on the down-line. The appropriate downgrade is: (FIG. 10)



6 points
5 points
4 points
3 points

9. If any judge does not see enough of a figure to grade it properly, the judge should:

Mark the figure an “A” (average) based on the last 3 or 4 previous figures
Mark the figure “A” to give the scoring software the authority to replace their mark with the average of the marks of the other judges on Form A.
Mark the figure based on what was seen and how it sounded
Mark the figure as a zero

10. A competitor performs the rolling turn (again shown below) and each roll reversal occurred with the wings 5 degrees off from wings level, there were three (3) variations in roll rate, and the turn was completed on heading with 20 degrees of the last roll occurring on a straight line. The mark for this figure must be: (FIG.12)



Zero for accumulation of errors
1.5
2.0

11. A figure started behind the judges, as determined by each Judge, must be marked a Zero.

True
False

12. Which of the following does NOT meet the definition of an “implicit” program interruption?

Omitting a figure
Adding a figure to a sequence to correct heading or attitude
Correcting a heading deviation of 90º or more between figures
d. Regaining height in the case of altitude difficulties

13. A competitor is required to fly (FIG. 9)



Zero - wrong figure was flown
Deduct at least 1 point for radius change between the first and second quadrants depending on the magnitude of the variation, at least 2 points for the line, and at least 1 point for radius change between the third and fourth quadrants depending on the magnitude of the variation, for a total deduction of at least 4 points
Deduct at least 1 point for one radius change, depending on the magnitude of the variation, and at least 2 points for the inserted line, for a total deduction of at least 3 points.

14. The radii of the part loop between 45 degree and horizontal should be equal to the loop of the horizontal 8 itself (FIG.3)



True
False

15. A competitor experiences a mechanical defect during figure 6, lands and after repairs, is given a repetition flight. The competitor starts the repetition flight correctly but omits the rolls in figure 5 (shown below)and gain an unfair advantage: What is the penalty, if any? (FIG. 14)



The Chief Judge must apply an interruption penalty
The previous mark for figure 5 must be reduced to a Zero
No penalty

16. The entry and exit lines must be at the same altitude (FIG. 3)



True
False

17. Penalties for height infringements are assessed based on a simple majority opinion of the judges.

True
False

18. What is the deduction for the errors in line lengths of the following 7.7.1 square loop? (FIG. 2)



2 points
3 points
4 points
6 points

19. Continuation in a category will be denied a competitor where:

The competitor received less than a score of 5.0 for half of the figures in their sequence.
The competitor zeroed 75% of the Known sequence
In the opinion of the Contest Jury and Board of Judges, a pilot demonstrates an inability to satisfactorily control their aircraft, he/she will be disqualified from that category

20. In the following figure, the multiple roll combination must be centered on the apex of the loop. (FIG. 14)



True
False

21. In the following figure, the exit radius may be different from the entry radius

True
False
