Flight manual DG-500 ELAN ORION
3.1
Introduction
Section 3 provides a checklist and amplification for coping with emergen-
cies that may occur. Emergency situations can be minimized by proper pre-
flight inspections and maintenance.
Caution: Canopy jettison and bailing out should be trained several times
on the ground before flying the aircraft.
3.2
Canopy jettison
To bail out the white-red canopy opening handle (left) has to be operated
with your right hand. Open the canopy as far as possible.
If the canopy doesn’t stay open (or is not blown away by the oncoming
air), but is closed by the air pressure, you have to release the canopy in it’s
closed position by operating the red emergency release handle (right) with
your left hand, then push the canopy upwards.
The retaining lines will tear off.
The gas struts (if installed) will disengage automatically
3.3
Bailing out
First jettison both canopies, then open the safety harness and bail out.
The low walls of the front cockpit allow for a quick push-off exit.
3.4
Stall recovery
Easing the stick forward and picking up a dropping wing with sufficient
opposite rudder the glider can be recovered from the stall.
To recognize and prevent the stall, please refer to sect. 4.5.4.
3.5
Spin Recovery
Apply full opposite rudder against direction of the spin, pause.
Then ease stick forward until the rotation ceases, centralize the controls
and carefully pull out of the dive.
The ailerons should be kept neutral during recovery.
Caution: To prevent unintentional spinning do not stall the sailplane. Fly
with enough speed reserve especially in gusty conditions and in the landing
pattern.
Intended spins with waterballast are not permitted.
Height loss during recovery
up to. 50 - 100 m (160-330 ft)
