CAUTION: see Parachutal Stall section.
All rapid descent techniques should be practised in smooth air and
with sufficient height only! Full stalls and spins are to be avoided as
recovery procedures, since irrespectively of paraglider type they may
have dangerous consequences!
BY FAR THE BEST TECHNIQUE IS WISE, CORRECT AND SAFE
FLYING, SO THAT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO DESCEND RAPIDLY!
AEROBATICS
Nemo XX was not designed to perform aerobatics.
WING OVER
You make a wingover by executing a series of consecutive, alternating turns
with constantly growing bank angle. Too much banking with some flaws in
coordination can evoke pretty dynamic collapse.
CAUTION:
Steep turn with bank angle exceeding 60 degrees is a
prohibited aerobatic manoeuvre!
EXTREME AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
CAUTION
PROVOKING EXTREME SITUATIONS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT
DURING SAFETY TRAINING COURSE (INSTABILITY TRAINING) UNDER
PROPER GUIDANCE! WHILE PROVOKING OR EXITING REAL
SITUATIONS THERE IS DANGER THAT YOUR ACTIONS WILL PROVE
TOO QUICK OR TOO STRONG, SO YOU SHOULD EMPLOY GOOD
JUDGMENT, STAY CALM AND TAKE MEASURED ACTIONS.
Since all actions required to exit or prevent dangerous situations on
Nemo XX are typical and pilots flying this wing should already have
some experience, we are going to describe only the characteristic
features for this paraglider. Description of standard dealing with
extreme situations can be found in textbooks.
SIDE COLLAPSE
May happen in strong turbulence. Usually Nemo XX does not turn at all.
With collapses of some 50% pilot has a couple of seconds to react before
paraglider enters a turn. A little countermeasure will be enough to keep it on
course. Under normal conditions Nemo XX will reinflate instantly and
spontaneously.
