SLAM and Composure

By Jedu, in X-Wing Rules Questions

How do you fail a SLAM action? It might be failed, per rules reference, but when does that happen? By SLAMming, you're performing a selected manouver, even if you would execute it only partially. So, does partial execution of the manouver trigger composure?

You can fail a SLAM by attempting to execute a maneuver that takes you off the board.
