Illustrative sample data

See what you flew, not what it felt like.

The recorder's numbers, at the moment that matters.

Aerobatic figures, named and graded.

Loops, rolls, hammerheads, spins and more are found in the recording by their attitude, and each is graded out of 10 on what a judge looks at: entry and exit, wings level through the figure, drift, roundness.

A motion that matches no known figure is listed as measured, never given a guessed name.

Each figure found, named and scored out of 10.

Pattern work, leg by leg.

Each lap's downwind height against your pattern altitude, its spacing from the runway, the turn to final and any overshoot, the descent and speed on final, and the touchdown.
