I'm sure this is coming from the same person that told me a couple of years ago that a flopped stall turn did not deserve a 0 because a stall turn was made up of 7 maneuver elements.
1. Straight line
2. Radius
3. Straight line up
4. Stall
5. Straight line down
6. Radius
7. Straight line
How can one argue with that logic?
