CAUTION: Always remain aware of other aircraft and terrain when dealing with a
problem on your wing.
Rear riser steering
If, for any reason, you are unable to use the brakes to steer the glider, you can also use
the rear risers. Take care to use only small inputs. Pulling the rear risers too hard may
cause a stall.
Flying with a wet paraglider
Never fly with a wet paraglider or in the rain. Doing so increases the risk of a deep
(parachutal) stall. If you do get caught out, never use big ears. Fly with the minimum of
brake and head for the landing immediately. Apply moderate speed bar for an additional
safety margin.
Deep stall
A deep (parachutal) stall is only likely to occur in exceptional circumstances, such as if
the glider is flown when wet, if the lines are significantly out-of-trim or if the glider is flown
in extreme turbulence.
In a deep stall, the canopy may be open, but is descending vertically with little or no
forward speed.
To exit a deep stall, fully release both brakes and allow the glider to return to normal
flight. If the glider remains in the deep stall, put your hands on the A-risers and push
forwards, or apply your speed bar.
CAUTION: Never apply the brakes, including any wraps taken, in a deep stall.
WARNING: During any incident in flight, always monitor your altitude. If you have any
doubt that you have sufficient height for recovery, deploy your reserve without
hesitation. “If low, then throw”.
