THE PARACHUTAL STALL:
The paraglider has no forward speed and a greatly increased descent rate. The Para-
chutal Stall may follow a too passively released B-line Stall. Porous canopy fabric (ex-
cessive UV-degradation) or frequent, strong towing (stretched A-lines) results in an in-
creased risk of a Parachutal Stall. The pilot can recover from the Parachutal Stall by
slightly pushing the A-risers forward at the mallions or by using the accelerator. The
skywalk MESCAL4 usually exits the Parachutal Stall automatically.
CAUTION:
AS SOON AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES DURING A PARACHUTAL STALL THE
PARAGLIDER WILL IMMEDIATELY ENTER A FULLSTALL.
IF STILL IN A PARACHUTAL STALL CLOSE TO THE GROUND DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO RECOVER BUT STRAIGHTEN UP YOUR POSITION IN THE HARNESS AND
PREPARE FOR A PARACHUTE LANDING ROLL.
