conditions are not too turbulent.
In order to accelerate your flight you have
to put your feet on the speedbar and push
it forward. If you happen to feel tension
drop when pushing the speedbar, it can be
a sign of imminent frontal collapse. In this
case release the bar immediately.
Caution:
Watch out for such things - fast
reaction can spare you most of the
frontstalls, always possible when using the
speedsystem.
Remember:
•
Speed system operation diminishes
your paraglider's angle of attack, so
that its airspeed is increased, but
simultaneously the canopy becomes
less stable. The airflow becomes
more dynamic, too. Therefore you
should avoid using speedsystem in
turbulent conditions, close to the
ground or near other airspace users!
•
Do not use speed system during
extreme manoeuvres! If the canopy
does collapse when accelerated,
release the speed bar immediately
and correct the situation as usual.
•
When speed system is engaged, do
not use the brakes as it can make
your paraglider more susceptible to
frontal collapses. In such situations
you should control your direction with
C risers (blue cover).
Caution:
Accordingly to increase in speed
the angle of attack diminishes, so the
canopy is more susceptible to front
collapses than in normal flight.
The faster is your flight, the more dynamic
are possible collapses and stalls.
