7.2.2. Manuvering: Steering Toggles (Brakes Released)
In order to initiate a change in direction, pull the toggle downwards, parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the body; left toggle initiates a left turn and right toggle initiates a right
turn. To stop the turn (rotation) and resume straight ahead flight simply return the toggle
position to neutral (see pic 7.2.1.1.)

7.2.3. Landing: Steering Toggles (Brakes Released)
In order to perform a landing with the brakes released, actively pull both steering toggles
parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body down to shoulder height (aka “the flare”). This
toggle position corresponds to about 50% brake input and represents a safe landing
configuration. In certain situations, the toggles can be pulled further to reduce more speed,
however lower forward speed will result in less lift and the potential for a stall if the
approach is too high.
Note: The parachute canopies do not have a stall warning!
