More thoughts on Stall Turns: Radius 'A'
    = radius 'F'

Length 'B'
    = length 'C'

Length ‘D’
    = length ‘E’

Disregard any
height difference
at 'G' - it is
not important.
 
The up and down-lines must be ZLA vertical. Any slow or flick rolls on them must however be judged on their flight path / CGT.
In the turn-round you should see yaw without any pitch or roll. Sideways movement of the aeroplane (called ‘bridging’) of up to one wingspan during the 180° rotation is acceptable, but any more than that must be penalised: the downgrade is 1 point per ½ wingspan, or beyond 2 wingspans the penalty is a ‘Hard’ zero.
The exit radius should be the same as the entry, but may be at a different altitude.
Be critical about the verticality of the aircraft ZLA in the up-line all the way to the top.
Any pitch or roll in the turn-round is a clear error - 1 mark lost per 5° as usual.

In a stall-turn with rolling elements up or down there may be several changes from CGT to ZLA judgement and vice-versa.

If the exit is on the "A" axis check that the direction is correct, and in erect or inverted flight as is required by the sequence.

 
Downgrades
are quite simple - entry and exit radii must be the same or 1 point downgrade per multiple given, the usual 1 point/5° applies in pitch for the up and down lines and also in any roll seen in the turn, and the turn itself must pivot within the silhouette of one wing or 'bridging' must be penalised as above.
