2007 IMAC sequences (written descriptions)

[Dan Bregar]

In the Basic sequence the tear drop description seems like there might be a half roll left out. Could this be ?

[exeter_acres]

No half roll in the Aresti.....

are you talking about figure 4?

[Ryans Rebel]

What an over achiever.

You are absolutely right Judge it is very important to learn how to read Aresti. I personally prefer my caller to read a written description for me that i write out in the way i like the manouver to be called but thats just me. I do enjoy sitting down deciphering the Aresti.

thanks wayne - we need this for the newbies and yes they still have to learn to read the aresti!!

You da man,,

Well, I agree everyone should learn Aresti, but I'm curious how a caller would convey Aresti notation to the pilot without mentally converting it to a narrative first. You know, sorta like all the DJs saying "the artist formally known as Prince".

its weird... but for me , reading Aresti is easier...
it is much easier to visualize what is going on while calling, or judging....

a quick glance and you know where the pilot is...with text,,, you have to read throguh and find your spot....

Exactly.
I have a hard time calling for anyone who has it written out and has to hear it verbatim.

[Judge]

The reason for this is that you can "see it" and "say it" much faster than you can "read it & say it". Also, written narratives do not tell you direction to go. Ask QQ how that works out!! 8 very nice zeros for exiting a figure the wrong directon at the final TOC.

Aresti is easy and powerful. I really cannot understand why anyone would NOT want to use it!!

In the sportsman #10 reads Aerobatic Turn. Can you give a discription of that term?

[Rolling Thunder]

An aerobatic turn is a turn that has a a bank angle of at least 60 degree and no more the 90 degrees. You have to establish your angle, turn your plane the desired degrees, 90, 180, 270, or 360 holding the angle, then return wings to level.

Thanks.

[exeter_acres]

Yep....

Her is the description straight from the rule book:

	Quote:
	In aerobatic competition, a turn is divided into three parts: 1) Establishing the bank using a roll on heading. 2) The turn itself. 3) A roll back to straight and level flight on heading. Let’s look at the turn during each of these three parts. First, the roll to establish the bank. This must be a roll of between 60 and 90 degrees, it must be performed on the entry heading, and the aircraft must maintain a constant horizontal line. Once the roll is completed and the angle of bank is established, the competitor immediately performs the turn. The turn must maintain the established angle of bank throughout. The aircraft must also maintain horizontal flight. The rate of turn is constant throughout and the maneuver must be wind corrected so that, for instance, a 360 degree turn will be a perfect circle. It should be noted that the wind correction cannot be performed by visibly changing the bank angle. As soon as the aircraft is on the exit heading, the competitor performs another roll at a rate equal to the entry roll. Again, the aircraft must maintain a constant horizontal line. Downgrades: a) The angle of bank established by the initial rolling maneuver must be at least 60 degrees. Any less is a one (1) point deduction for every ten (10) degrees. b) The angle of bank, once established, must remain constant. Any deviation is a one (1) point deduction for every ten (10) degrees of deviation. c) The rate of roll must be the same for the entry and exit rolls of this figure. Any deviation is a one (1) point deduction. d) The aircraft must maintain a constant altitude throughout the figure. Any variation would be one (1) point for every ten (10) degrees of change. e) The rate of turn must remain constant. Any change would be not more than a one (1) point deduction for each change. Note that the rate of turn may appear to change in a strong wind, when it really isn’t changing. The judges must always keep the wind in mind and give the pilot the benefit of the doubt if there is any question. f) The aircraft must begin and end on the prescribed heading. Any deviation is a one (1) point deduction for every ten (10) degrees of deviation.

Hi Wayne,

thanks for the info.
do you have a PDF file or something with the aresti drawings?
