• If the glider does begin to climb, ease o the brakes (10-20cm) - do not put your hands
up all the way - then are again, but more gently this time. Keep the brakes at mid speed,
stand up, be ready to run and make sure you brake fully as you arrive on the ground.
• Choose the appropriate approach style in function of the landing area and the conditions.
• In strong winds you need to turn towards the glider the second your feet touch the ground.
Once facing the wing pull smoothly and symmetrically down on the brakes to stall the wing.
If the glider pulls you, run toward it.
• If the wind is very strong, and you feel you might be dragged, or lifted again, stall the glider
with the B risers. This stalls the wing in a very quick and controllable way and will drag you
less than if you use the brakes.
• Always land heading into wind!
