A small circle at one end of a figure indicates
the maneuver starting point.
|
|
A short vertical line at the other end of
the figure indicates the maneuver end point. |
|
Horizontal segments represent level flight
paths (flown left to right in this example). |
|
Vertical segments indicate vertical flight
paths.
The corners are intended to be flown as 1/4 loops, not right angles. |
|
Segments angled 45degree, indicate flight
at a degree angle from the vertical. |
|
Dashes used to draw lines indicate inverted
flight (negative G). |
|
Circles (and portions of circles) indicate
loops (and loop portions). |
|
Short arcs (approx. 180 degree) drawn to
intersect lines indicate full rolls. |
|
Portions of arcs (approx. 90degree) drawn
on one side of a line indicate portions of rolls. As drawn, the
figure depicts a 1/2 roll performed in horizontal flight. |
|
Fractional notations next to roll symbols
indicate roll portions greater or smaller than 1/2. As drawn, the
figure depicts a quarter roll flown on a vertical up-line. |
|
Right triangles indicate spins. |
|
Equilateral triangles indicate snap rolls. |
A pilot will fly a "routine" which constitutes a sequence
of approximately 10 figures. They may look like this.
