12.5 Flying in turbulent winds
When flying through strong air turbulences it is recommended that you stabilise by braking
on both sides of the glider. The Green b is very resistant to collapses up to a certain
level of turbulence, even when fully accelerated. An experienced pilot can extend this limit
by actively stabilising the canopy. As soon as the glider moves forward in turbulences it is
more or less strongly braked backwards.
This type of active flying is also effective when the strain on one side of the paraglider
starts to be relieved. In very rough conditions the braking space needed can far exceed
the stall limit in normal flight. Because of the change in inflow you are then far away from
the stall limit/angle of stall. When you fly into strong vertical gusts from below you experi-
ence this in the opposite direction. The brakes now have to be released to balance out the
gliders’ backwards movement. Before you venture out into very turbulent conditions or fly
a longer distance with your Green b for the first time, you should acquire a feeling for
its specific reactions and be able to stabilise the glider as defined above.
12.6 Landing
When focusing on the landing arrangements make sure that you still have enough height!
The landing itself is very easy thanks to the Green b’s low sinking and minimum speed.
The final approach should be made in a straight line against the wind and the pilot should
sit up in the harness at least by the time he is in the downwind leg. The Green b
then approaches until nearly reaching the ground and at approx. 1 m height is braked
quickly and continuously over the stall point. Ideally the rest of the forward movement
is converted completely into eased sinking when touching down and ground contact is
extremely smooth. If a landing is inadvertently carried out with a tailwind then you should
brake somewhat earlier and above all more dynamically. In strong winds always brake
carefully and ideally get the glider down to the ground with the D-risers immediately after
touch down. At the same time turn around and take the glider’s pressure out of the wing
by running.
