Landing
Just make sure that last turn into the wind
is done with sufficient altitude. At about 1
meter over ground flare out by gently
braking both sides. The glider may climb
again for a while gaining some height, if too
much brake is used.
Caution:
Strong wind landings hardly
require braking, if at all! Use C-risers to
deflate the canopy after landing. Using the
brakes will probably result in pilot being
lifted again and dragged backwards.
The final glide of the landing approach
should be straight and smooth. Steep or
alternating turns can result in a dangerous
pendulum effect near the ground.
