What is the maximum deduction for insufficient length during the 2nd flight?

The maximum deduction for insufficient length during the second flight in gymnastics is indeed 0.3. This deduction applies when the gymnast does not achieve adequate distance or height during the second flight phase of an aerial element. Judges assess various aspects of execution, including how well the gymnast maintains proper form and achieves the necessary extension and distance when exiting an element.

Insufficient length can impact the overall presentation and fluidity of a routine, which is why the specific deduction of 0.3 is established as a measure for this type of error. Other deduction amounts pertain to different execution errors or aspects of the performance, but the standard for insufficient length in this context has been set at 0.3 to reflect its significance in the overall evaluation of a gymnast’s performance.
