faint and to lose flying controls, and crash. Furthermore, they will exert a lot of force
and affect the pilot and equipment alike.
The pilot should never exercise this maneuver in turbulences or with wide lateral
angles. In windy conditions, the pilot must be aware of oscillations during the
maneuver.
Attention
•
Never combine ears with spirals. The canopy active area reduction plus the 'G'
force, by the centrifugal effect, may result in line
and/or canopy damage.
•
Exiting of any spiral at great speeds must be piloted.
•
This maneuver requires high altitudes (at least 600 meter over ground) and is
dangerous due high descent ratio pilot can lose the altitude reference. Never do
this maneuver without sufficient experience.
B-Stoll
To induce a 'B-Stall', the pilot must pull the risers 'B'
simultaneously, between 15 and 20 cm. There will be a
shift of air flow on the outer layer and the canopy will
initiate a parachutal phase. By releasing the risers 'B'
quickly the airflow recoils on the outer layer and the
canopy returns to its normal flight position. In case the
canopy does not recover to normal flight, refer to the
section on Wraps. The momentum of return creates a
forward motion by the canopy. We recommend avoiding braking the power glider
eliminating the possibility of a parachutal stall. The load applied on the 'B' lines during
this maneuver is not beneficial to your power glider. Use this maneuver only in
emergencies. In the event risers 'B' are pulled too quickly or too deeply, a horseshoe
may occur towards the front. In order to regain normal flight, the pilot must apply the
brakes lightly.
