into unforeseeable worse weather conditions. And so if the rain is only very light, the flight may be
continued for a certain time, but the wet canopy will get heavier. Therefore flight speed will increase,
causing a higher stall speed as well.
With a wet wing fly carefully, avoid sudden manoeuvres and don't be excessively slow when landing.
If the rain gets stronger land!
No flights in strong rain
!
WIND:
If under strong wind conditions land immediately and once touch down turn quickly to control the wing
with the “B” elevators avoiding to be dragged away.
FLIGHTS IN SNOWY CONDITIONS:
They are not permitted at all. In case it starts to snow during flight land soon as possible!
EXTREME TEMPERATURES:
Remember that flight parameters changes in different temperature levels.
At high temperatures the required power and the required flight speed increases, so that the take off
distance gets longer than in winter. This is similar to flights in high altitudes.
Dangerous situation
Extreme flying with a PPG and full gas are extremely dangerous and therefore cannot be tested. They
must be avoided at all costs. Problems do not arise during a normal flight. However, pilot error during
the flight or extreme wind conditions may force the wing into an unusual flying position. This may
require the pilot to make corrections during flight to which he may not be used to.
In this section we explain how to correct extreme situations if they do arise. The manoeuvres described
below are based on the legal -take-off weight as described in the technical data section.
These instructions do not replace safety training or specialised literature. We recommend that you
undertake special safety training which will prepare you for extreme situations.
Always keep within the recommended limits. Do not perform aerobatics or extreme flying manoeuvres.
FRONT STALL
Strong turbulence can cause part or all of the leading edge of the glider to fold or tuck under.
Normally the “Powerplay sting 140” wing will immediately recover into its normal flight position.
- Recovery
If the wing not immediately recover from a frontal tuck, brake quickly and strongly with both steering-
lines (brake lines) to re-inflate the glider.
Any weather condition which causes a front stall is dangerous. If you get into such weather land as soon
as possible and do not continue before the weather got quieter!
FULL STALL
A full stall could occur if full brake is applied during the flight. The paraglider slows down, surges
backwards and deflates. If the brakes are held down, the canopy comes up over the pilot again.
- Recovery
Fully release the brakes within 3 seconds. If you release the brakes too slowly, the
paraglider may spin. The spin stops automatically when the brakes are released completely
