12.2 Frontal collapse
Point does not come out the symmetrical front collapse
by itself. It has high internal pressure with its well
designed profile. However a symmetric collapse my
occur in strong turbulent condition, but It could be
fast recovered, if you apply the brake down to 15 to
20cm. Release the brake lines, you may recover to the
normal flight.
12.3 Full stall
Full stall can occur when you fully pull the both
brakes enough long time. This means that the wing
loses its forward momentum. To recover to the normal
flight you must release both brakes. After this usually
comes a front dive with a possible front deflation. An
asymmetric recovery (one control released faster than
the other) from a full-stall can cause a big dynamic
collapse. The full-stall is a hazardous manoeuvre and
as such outside the scope of this manual. You should
practice and learn this manoeuvre only on a SIV
course under professional instructor.
12.4 Deep stall
It is possible for gliders to enter a state of deep stall.
This can be caused by several situations including; a
very slow release from a B-line stall; flying the glider
when wet; very old glider; or after a front/symmetric
