not use more than about 60 % of the control stick full deflection. The load factor must drop in the

inverted position. After passing the inverted position the speed will increase and the control stick must

be eased forward gradually until the sailplane is flying level again. Before and during this manoeuvre

rudder should be used to prevent yaw and ailerons used to keep the wings level. Maintain precise

directional control for proper completion.

STALL TURN

This manoeuvre should be begun at the speed of 170 km/h (92 KIAS) when flying solo or 180

km/h (97 KIAS) when flying dual. Pull the control stick gently backward to bring the nose to a position of

about 60° to 70° above the horizon. Ease the control stick forward slightly to maintain this attitude. As

the speed falls to 130-140 km/h (70 - 76 KIAS), start to apply rudder in the required direction of turn.

The ailerons should be used against the direction of turn as necessary to prevent the sailplane rolling to

the inverted position. As the nose approaches the reciprocal heading, neutralize the rudder, keep the

wings level by use of the ailerons, and ease out of the resulting dive, taking care not to apply excessive

"g".
