2D steering system – examples of operation
Below you can find basic modes of steering with 2D system. Demonstrated examples
are by far not a complete catalogue – there is a lot of interim configurations and only
the pilot will choose what kind of steering is the best in given situation.
2D steering is considerably different than the classic steering system. The possibilities
it offers are of special value for competition pilots. On one hand the 2D system offers
much more precise control of he canopy, but on the other it requires learning new
(different) reflexes and reactions. Pilot must spend some time exploring the system and
perfecting his own technique before flying 2D in demanding environment of the
competitions.
