| How to fill-in a BAeA Judging
Sheet |
 |
Here is an example of a completed judging sheet
Form-A. The Form-B is available on the sequences page of this
website. These marks would be
representative of a mid-rank pilot, who would have done much
better if the stall entry to the spin was acceptable and
the HZ for fig-10 was avoided. |
| The judge has made
good range of comments which the assistant has recorded in the
Remarks column, so the pilot would be able to see where
he/she lost marks and roughly why. |
| If at any point the
aeroplane had moved into the next figure before the judge had
figured out his mark, these comments would be a good basis for
later reviewing the by-passed figure and marking it after the
sequence is finished. They would also serve to keep the figures
freshly in mind if there was a discussion on the judging
line after the flight, in case for example other judges had HZ's
where this judge did not see any cause. |
| The Hard zero was
given for figure-10 because the pilot completely missed the
short 45° line at the exit to the stall turn. Flying the "wrong"
figure is an automatic Hard Zero, but if the error is
"perceived" as in fig-3 then the mark is a Soft Zero, written as
0.0 |
| This pilot
was flustered after fig-3 and took a break to
sort things out so he could re-start with his wits collected. The
assistant has put "BREAK" with double-lines where the
interruption occurred. |
| Noting the BREAK on the
score-sheet acts as a reminder to put the "1" in the
Interruptions box before the sheet is handed in. The scorer will
insert the correct penalty when the marks are put into the
computer. |
| And last of all in the marking
process - the Framing or Positioning mark goes at the top of the
sheet. |
Finally:
Check that your assistant has correctly filled-in - |
 |
The Flight
Number. This is crucial for the scorer, who must be able
to collate sheets together without ever mixing different
pilot's marks. Flight numbers start at 1 and increment
for each sequence flight. |
|
|
Your name and
your judge number. Again - critical for the scorer, to
avoid paperwork mix-ups. |
|
|
Note! Leave the pilot's
name and the aeroplane type blank because you will not have a flying-order list
with the necessary information. The Chief Judge will
fill in these details if required. |
