Yes, you are right he did 2 rolls to be exact. Please watch the F-16 performance of 2018 Parade and compare it with the crash video.
Watch from 24:20 onwards
Interesting! I thought they'd been some modification to the maneuver but what WC Yasir Shaifique is doing is almost the same as what WC Nuaman was doing. The chain of events and the eventual mishap, after seeing this, has to be even before the actual split S because Shafique after doing rolls keeps gaining altitude for considerably longer duration before getting into the split S and also notice that he gains altitude and then inverts into the split s while Nauman got into the maneuver too soon and is gaining altitude inverted. Strange. Possibly it was the altimeter setting because Islamabad is at a higher sea level then Sargodha. Don't know the complete technicality of it is but it appears that he saw an in correct altitude and got into the maneuver too soon.
Anyway, I actually hope they don't make this inquiry public. Its pointless. Learn internally and move on.
Pilots who are fighter pilots first should not be doing these kind of shows. There should be dedicated ones to do it but of course that isn't a luxury Pakistan has. I've seen a Thunderbird and a Blue Angel crash doing this split s and they do this stuff all year long.
This is informative.
So many things that can go wrong that are just not of a visual nature
