RAPID DESCENT TECHNIQUES 

B-line stalls: 

As there is a lot of load on the “B’s” we do not recommend using B-Stall as a descent 
technique under power. Performing B-Line stalls on any glider weakens the fabric by 
putting unnecessary strain on the lines. It could deform the quality of airfoils and weaken 
it. 

To induce a B-line stall without power, symmetrically pull down slowly on both B-risers, 
until the canopy folds (parallel to its long axis). The airflow over the top surface is almost 
fully detached and the canopy enters a vertical descent flight mode without forward 
movement. Further pulling of the B-risers reduces the surface area more and increases 
the sink rate (Up to 8 m/s). Pulling too far down or too rapidly may cause a frontal 
horseshoe to form. To exit from this flight mode release the B-risers at first rapidly but 
then gently (1 sec). The canopy surges forward re-attaching the airflow over the top 
glider surface and resumes normal flight. When the B-risers are released, the brakes 
should not be activated. This will give the canopy the chance to gain speed and resume 
normal flight. On exit from a B-line stall on no account just release the B-straps, as this 
can cause overloading on B row attachment points. If canopy does not recover apply 
both brakes gently to recover or pull the A-risers, until the canopy regains forward 
speed.
