B-Line-Stall
It is very dangerous to exit a B-line-stall incorrectly and following errors must be
avoided:
•
Exit is too slow
•
Releasing the B-line-stall aid without simultaneously pushing up with your
hands
•
Using brakes during or directly after exiting
•
Pulling too far on the B-line-stall aid, so that the A-lines are pulled too
•
Brakes must not be shortened by twisting around your hand during the exercise.
Spiral Dive
The most effective way to reduce the amount is the spiral dive. It is enough to cap
with a moderate shift on inside brake and easier to bring the spiral. Thereby the
sink rates can be longer than 20 m/s. Disclaimer:
The NIKITA 5 remains in the stable spiral
position until the pilot active ends it with the
outer brake.
What happens when it happens?
The cautious to new aerobatic maneuvers is dangerous. Such flights should
only take place over water with life jackets and waiting lifeboat.
Knots and cravats
The best way to avoid knots and tangles is to inspect the lines before you inflate
the wing for take-off. If you notice a knot before takeoff, immediately stop running
and do not take-off. If you have taken-off with a knot you will have to correct the
drift by leaning on the opposite side of the knot and gently apply the brake line on
that side too.
You can gently try to pull on the brake line to see if the knot becomes unfastened
or try to identify the line with the knot in it. Try to pull the identified line to see if the
knot releases.
A cravat matters on a flight failure during a maneuver or after a botched D-bag
activation. The
NIKITA 5 turns off very quickly, and can be stabilized with the outer
brake only with much feeling.
There are a few ways to try to rectify this situation:
•
Try pumping on the side of the cravat
•
Pull the stabilo line (the outermost B-line)
•
Actively collapse the cravat side and release
•
If all else fails, attempt a full stall – only if sufficient altitude remains.
If you have exhausted all these options, you are uncertain how to proceed
and you do not have control over your glider and you are running out of
altitude, immediately deploy your reserve parachute.
