put scores perspective average K factor maneuvers other takeoff landing about 31A Since three judges used score flying maneuver could have point higher would hav gained flier approxi mately 11 points Consequently Helms flown four maneuvers out 42 three high flights point higher did would have 1979 US team instead Dean Koger Conversely flown four maneuvers point lower did would have finished sixth
