In the event that the reopening phase is delayed, you can help accelerate the reopening
by pulling both brake lines with equal pressure.

Deep stall
In this condition your wing will not have any forward flight tendency, instead
will flutter above you and have a higher rate of sink.
The cause of this deep stall flight condition is often a poorly performed B-stall
especially when the pilot is too slow in releasing the B Level-riser, during the reopening
phase. Wings which have a very porous surface, caused by aging and heavy UV radia-
tion exposure, or through use with winch tow systems, which cause a heavy strain on
the wing materials and especially on the A lines, are especially subject to backstall.
The Pilot can try and correct this flying condition by lightly pulling forward on the A-
riser at the height of the line locks, or through apply pressure on his speed bar.
As a general rule, the skywalk VENOM should correct itself automatically to exit the
backstall condition.
CAUTIon
bE ADVISED THAT In THE EVEnT oF A bACkSTALL, IF THE PILoT
ACTIVATES HIS bRAkES, THE WIng WILL IMMEDIATELY go InTo
A FULL STALL ConDITIon. In THE EVEnT THAT THE bACkSTALL
HAPPEnS nEAR gRoUnD LEVEL, Do noT ATTEMPT A RECoVERY oF
