Front deflations
you do not have enough altitude for further interventions, the
emergency parachute must be deployed instantly!
If levelling off (where control forces are not so high as to make
this impossible) and subsequent traditional control measures are
not sufficient to reinflate the airfoil, in the right altitude and with
appropriate piloting skills, the following methods may lead to
success:
1. Pulling down the Stabilo-line (blue-coloured: on the C-riser!)
may also result in reinflation and in the canopy's return to normal
fl ig ht.
2. Collapsing the side in question in order to take some load off
the lines (only in case of small entanglements and line-overs).
3. Controlled stalling of the canopy leads to the canopy sliding
backward and thus effects in airflow from behind which will
usually undo the entanglement (only to be attempted by pilots
who have been trained in this technique and who are very
experienced).
If you cannot undo the entanglement, you must consider whether
it is possible to make an emergency landing (small entanglement,
holding canopy straight works well, manoeuvrability still remains)
or whether you need to deploy your safety chute (large
entanglement, canopy only to be kept straight with the risk of
stalling, high sinking, no more manoeuvrability).
Flying out of strong thermals with released brakes may for
instance result in a front collapse.
Usually, the canopy reinflates smoothly and on its own.
Reinflation can be assisted and accelerated by gently pulling both
brakes.
