CB,
We know what you mean, but to help you clean up the terminology a bit:
I'm sure that you know that the end of the try has nothing at all to do with whether the foul is a common foul or not.
It is solely based upon the concept of the act of shooting as defined in 4-40-1.
So rather than talking about the try ending and attempting to qualify it, just focus on the act of shooting and state that the airborne shooter status ends when A1 returns to the floor (4-1-1), and therefore he is no longer in the act of shooting (4-1-2).
Again right idea, just a better choice of words due to official's jargon.
