Landing
In strong winds you must land facing the wind. If necessary you can
fold the ears. As you approach the ground, you must take В-risers
while holding the brakes. As soon as you hit the ground, you must turn
towards the glider and pull B-risers running towards the wing. If the
wing is opping about a meter above the ground, release the B-risers
and pull the brakes hard to your arms length. We do not recommend
you to use the brakes in the strong wind, as the wing could catch the
wind and pull the pilot.
Do not let the glider overtake you and hit the ground with its front
edge, which leads to increased pressure in the wing and may damage
it.
Deflations
Asymmetric collapse
Every paraglider may collapse in turbulent conditions.
Asymmetric collapses can be controlled by weight-shifting away from
the collapse and applying a small amount of brake to control the ight
direction. At the same time you should use the brake to re-inate the
canopy.
Remember that the deated glider has higher stall speed and smaller
brake travel. That is why you should be careful not to pull the brake
too hard to avoid stall. Therefore, if there is a reserve of altitude and
space, you can not to compensate the rotation - Space will take some
speed, pressure inside the canopy will grow and help to open inated
part of the wing. However, in this case, there is a possibility of autoro-
tation - the pilot must be very careful!
Symmetric front collapse
Space comes out of symmetrical front collapse by itself. You can pull
the brakes about a 20 cm to speed the re-ination.
Deep stall (parachuting)
To get out of this mode you must pull А – risers or swing the wing by
pulling and releasing the brakes (preferably the rst one).
