To exit the spiral, check your weight is centred (or slightly towards the outside) and
progressively release the inside brake. As the glider starts to exit the spiral, you may also
choose to reduce the pendulum moment by briefly re-applying the inside brake.
The Griffin fulfils the EN spiral dive requirements and has no tendency to remain in a
stable spiral dive under normal conditions. However, in certain cases, such as spirals with
excessive sink rates or wrong harness settings, pilot action may be required. In such
cases, exit the spiral by weightshifting to the outside and progressively applying the
outside brake.
WARNING: The high G-forces experienced in steep or prolonged spirals may result in
disorientation or even loss of consciousness. Spirals with descent rates above 10 m/s
are not recommended.
WARNING: Do not attempt to enter a spiral dive while in big ears. This places excessive
forces on the paraglider and may result in structural failure.
CAUTION: Frequent steep spirals may cause premature aging of your wing.
B-Stall
Although it is not recommended for normal situations, the B-stall does not present
particular difficulties.
To enter a B-stall, symmetrically pull down the B risers. This action may require
considerable effort. To exit the manoeuvre, release the B-risers smoothly and
symmetrically. Be sure to allow the glider to resume normal flight before making any
other actions.
