9. Full stall
Certain behaviour or weather conditions can bring about a full stall. This is a serious incident
and one that is difficult to control.
If it happens less than 100m above the ground we recommend that you deploy your reserve
immediately.
Main causes of a full stall
• A poorly timed, or over-exaggerated input, with the brakes, when the wing has a reduced
air speed (e.g., when coming out of a spiral or when the paraglider is speeding up after
a B-line stall).
• A build up of droplets of water on the leading edge (from rain or cloud) can result in
a stall due to disrupted airflow over the leading edge. This has been linked to high levels
of porosity in glider fabrics.
