Control the dive and do not exceed 16 m/s sink. If the dive is not
stopping after releasing the brake, assist the glider with the outer
one.
Caution:
Never do spirals or wingovers with big ears pulled.
That’s another example of concentrating whole load on
reduced wing area, which - combined with high G
manoeuvres - shifts the peak loads unnecesarily close to
their maximum values.
Wing over
You make a wingover by performing a series of consecutive,
alternating turns with increasing bank angle. Too aggressive
banking with unsufficient control can result with a massive collapse.
Aerobatics
Optic 2 Light was not designed to do any aerobatics.
Caution:
All rapid descent techniques should be practiced
in smooth air and only with sufficient altitude margin! Full
stalls and spins are to be avoided as they are not
recommended techniques of clearing dangerous situations.
Irrespective of paraglider type they may lead to dangerous
consequences!
BY FAR THE BEST TECHNIQUE IS SAFE AND CORRECT
FLYING, SO THAT YOU WILL NEVER NEED TO DESCEND
RAPIDLY!
