Further pulling of the B-risers is not advised, as the wing instability can grow.
This manoeuvre is rather hard to execute on the Orca XX due to great forces
required to pull in the B riser.
To exit B-stall the risers
should be released in a smooth and decisive
manner.
After quick and symmetrical releasing B-lines the airflow reinstates and the wing
surges forward to return to normal flight.
If the canopy forms a horseshoe with the wingtips in front of you, gently apply
both brakes to recover.
CAUTION! See DEEP STALL
All rapid descent techniques should be drilled 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!
7. Extreme flying manoeuvres
CAUTION! EXTREME FLYING MANOEUVRES SHOULD ONLY BE
CARRIED OUT DURING SAFETY TRAINING COURSE (INSTABILITY
TRAINING) UNDER PROPER GUIDANCE!
WHILE PROVOKING OR EXITING REAL SITUATIONS THERE IS A DANGER
THAT YOUR ACTIONS WILL PROVE TOO QUICK OR TOO STRONG, SO
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS EMPLOY GOOD JUDGMENT, STAY CALM AND
TAKE ONLY MEASURED ACTIONS.
Since all actions required to exit or prevent dangerous situations on
Orca
XX
are typical and pilots flying this wing should be properly qualified, we
are going to describe only the characteristic features of the
Orca XX
.
Description of standard dealing with extreme situations can be found in
textbooks.
SIDE COLLAPSE
May happen in strong turbulence. Usually Orca XX does not turn at all.
In case of collapses of some 50% pilot has a couple of seconds to react before
paraglider enters rotation.
A little countermeasure will be enough to keep it on course. Under normal
conditions Orca XX will reinflate instantly and spontaneously.
