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.
