b) At least 2 points
c) No downgrade
4. In the following figure, which radii must be equal?

c) All radii may be different
d) 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

a) 0.5 point
b) 1.0 point
c) 0.5 to 1.0 point, depending on the severity
d) 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)



a) Zero
b) At least 2 point
c) At least 1 point
7. A Competitor is required to fly the figures below
(FIG. 13)



a) Mark figure 2, 3, and 4 normally
b) Mark figure 2 normally, Zero figure 3, mark figure 4 normally
c) Mark figure 2 normally, Zero figure 3, Zero figure 4
d) 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)



a) 6 points
b) 5 points
c) 4 points
d) 3 points
9. If any judge does not see enough of a figure to grade it properly, the judge should:

a) Mark the figure an “A” (average) based on the last 3 or 4 previous figures
b) 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.
c) Mark the figure based on what was seen and how it sounded
d) Mark the figure as a zero
10. A competitor performs the rolling turn (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)



a) Zero for accumulation of errors
b) 1.5
c) 2.0
11. A figure started behind the judges, as determined by the Chief Judge, must be marked a Zero.

a) True
b) False
12. Which of the following does NOT meet the definition of an “implicit” program interruption?

a) Omitting a figure
b) Adding a figure to a sequence to correct heading or attitude
c) Correcting a heading deviation of 45º or more between figures
d) Break to regaining height in the case of altitude difficulties
13. A competitor is required to fly
(FIG. 9)



a) 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
b) 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.
c) Zero the figure, because there are only seven hesitations.
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)



a) True
b) 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)



a) The Chief Judge must apply an interruption penalty
b) The previous mark for figure 5 must be reduced to a Zero
c) No penalty
16. For family 7.23 - 7.30, the entry and exit lines must be at the same altitude, unless there are multiple rolls flown on the last 45 deg. line.
(FIG. 3)



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

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



a) 2 points
b) 3 points
c) 4 points
d) 6 points
19. Continuation in a category will be denied a competitor where:

a) The competitor received less than a score of 5.0 for half of the figures in their sequence.
b) The competitor zeroed 75% of the Known sequence
c) 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)



a) True
b) False
21. In the following figure, the entry radius and the exit radius should be the same.
(FIG 1)



a) True
b) False
22. Consider how you would score a pilot performing the following sequence of figures in the following scenario posed. (FIG. 18 in your supplement book)

The pilot performs the ¾ roll on the downline in figure 2 in the wrong direction but still pushes out inverted. Realising he is flying out of the manoeuvre 180 degrees in the wrong direction he wing dips, then comes back into the box upright, wing dips again, then rolls inverted, then flies 3 and 4 in the correct direction



a) Manoeuvre Number 2, Zeroed, and 1 Breaks
b) Manoeuvre Number 3, Zeroed, and 0 Breaks
c) Manoeuvre Number 2, Zeroed, and 2 Breaks
d) Manoeuvre Number 3, Zeroed, and 2 Breaks
