4. Turning
The METIS 2 was designed to perform well in turns and will centre easily.
Negative steering (see above) on the one hand slows the paraglider in certain phases of flight
and, on the other hand, reduces excessive rolling during turn reversals. It is not only designed
to turn (with approx 30% brake) but also to fly slowly to help to identify areas of lift and to
keep the paraglider flatter to maximise the sink rate in a turn (with 15% brake).
5. Rapid descent techniques
To descend you generally move away from areas of lift, however if, for whatever reason, you
are having problems coming down then you can use the following techniques to increase your
sink rate.
