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”.
experience to perform this manoeuvre safely.
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.
