Asymmetrical shutting
The asymmetrical tilting of the entering edge can take place for example
because of turbulence or improper flying. If you get into this mode
in the sufficient altitude, the glider starts to fill spontaneously and can turn by
180º during filling (according to the range of shutting). The glider is controllable
in course of filling and therefore it is possible to stop the turning by pulling the
breaks on the remaining “healthy” parts of the canopy, to keep the flight's
direction or to slow down the turning. You can help to accelerate the filling of the
shut part with 1 or 2 energetic pulled of the breaks in a way that we return
the break
into
the
upper
utmost
position
during
the
“pumping”.
These interferences with operation should be stepless.
„Sackflug“
The parachute regime - sackflug can take place in various ways. One of them
is caused operationally by a pilot and that is by pulling the breaks, when the
loss of the forward speed and the sinking flight occurs and the canopy is almost
fully inflated without any marked deformations (as with pulling), it has no forward
speed and is not manageable. You can get into this regime because of strong
turbulence in combination with improper interference with the operation
or during a slow release of B-stall. After releasing the breaks of the glider
by returning the breaks into the upper utmost position, best right after
identification of this regime, the KOMAKA glider goes into the normal flight.
The KOMAKA glider has a tendency to sackflug but it is necessary to know that
if this regime occurs because of a pilot's mistake or weather conditions and the
single release of breaks of the glider is not effective, you must insert your palms
between “A” and “B” straps without releasing the operating loops and then press
on the A-straps symmetrically. The glider responses to this impulse with
a smooth transition into the normal flight.
!!! By pressing we mean gradual pressure on the “A” strap, which doesn't pull
the “A” row of ropes. Canopy's acceleration and its resulting start forward are
the KOMAKA reactions.
Negative spiral - spinning
In case of bringing the glider into spinning in any way, we recommend to return
both breaks into the upper utmost position immediately. The glider
spontaneously returns into a normal flight. During filling and returning into the
normal flight, which can take another 180º after one turn in the spinning regime,
a short-term shutting of the entering edge can occur. Avoiding the occurrence
of dangerous flight regimes and learning to identify it in time is a basic
prerequisite of safe flying and of possible training for advances flying.
!!! Attempts to interfere with the operation during spinning or to interfere while
choosing this regime are not the right solutions of the arisen situation.
On the contrary, they can extend the time necessary for the canopy's
regeneration and transition into the normal manageable flight.
