Deflations
To get out of this mode you must pull А – risers or swing the wing by pulling
and releasing the brakes.
Asymmetrical stall
It can take place when you pull one of the brakes too hard, or while spiraling
at a small speed in turbulence you increase the angle of attack. Rotation in
the asymmetrical stall is called negative spiral. This is one of the most danger-
ous flying situations. In order to get out of asymmetrical stall, just release the
brakes. There may follow side thrust forward with a following wing collapse.
Cravat
If the collapsed part of the canopy is entangled in the lines, you must try
to release it by pulling the ear-line. If you can not do it and the rotation is
increasing, you must use the parachute.
Estimate the damage. If a brake has untied - no problem as Scout can be
steered well by the back risers. Even if the damage allows for a sustainable
controlled flight, you should land as soon as possible. If normal flight is im-
possible, you must use the parachute.
In flight damage
Self-rotation
Increasing rotation usually takes place when the pilot has not reacted prop-
erly to the asymmetric collapse of the accelerated paraglider. Try to slow
down the rotation by counter-shifting your weight in the harness and pulling
the outer brake. If the self-rotation is increasing, drop the rescue parachute
quickly in the direction of the rotation. This mode can also take place when
you make extreme turns of the overloaded paraglider.
Full stall
Full stall happens when you pull both brakes too hard. To return to the nor-
mal flight you must release both brakes. After this usually comes a front dive
with a possible front deflation.
Just because Scout warns the pilot about stalling by increasing the brake load,
it is highly unlikely for you to enter it unexpectedly.
