Full-stall 
Never  bring  the  glider  into  full-stall  without  the  training  and  supervision 
of an experienced  instructor  following  the  conditions  stated  for  training 
of dangerous  flight  manoeuvres.  The  full-stall  training  can  only  be  done  above 
the water (with a back-up parachute).  

NEVER PERFORM FULL-STALL IF THE ALTITUDE IS INSUFFICIENT!!!

Escape manoeuvres 

Spiral 
The spiral allows dropping in the sufficient altitude. You can bring the paraglider 
into  the  spiral  by  smooth  pulling  one  of  the  breaks  until  a  suitable  rotation 
(you have  to  like  it)  and  an  adequate  subsiding.  We  recommend  ending 
the spiral  in  the  sufficient  altitude  by  slow  returning  of  breaks  into  the  upper 
utmost  position.  For  smooth  and  controlled  return  into  a  normal  flight, 
it is advisable  to  release  the  breaks  into  the  upper  utmost  position  in  course 
of one 360º turn. We recommend even a visual check of the hand's position. 
Spiral as an escape manoeuvre is not the most suitable manoeuvre, especially 
for  the  less  experienced  pilots  with  little  knowledge  of  new  wings.  Because 
the KOMAKA paraglider does not have a tendency to remain in a stable spiral, 
the inexperienced  pilots  are  in  danger  of  loosing  the  orientation  (three-
dimensional and altitude) and improper interferences into the operation because 
of  overburden.  Therefore  we  recommend  to  include  this  manoeuvre  in  the 
repertory  of  the  escape  manoeuvres  after  a  thorough  familiarization  with 
the glider  and  to  do  its  practice  gradually;  which  means  not  bringing  the  glider 
into  the  spiral  by  swinging  for  example  where  the  spiral  is  sharp,  without 
a gradual rising of speed, subsiding and forces effecting the pilot. 
B-Stall 
If it is necessary, dropping in the sufficient altitude above the ground can cause 
sinking  flight  by  smooth,  symmetrical  pulling  back  of  the  “B”  straps.  While 
completely pulling back the “B” rows of ropes, it must not come to pulling back 
of the “A” row of ropes because then it would not be B-stall but a massive frontal 
shutting, of which course is not smooth and the glider has a tendency to fill. The 
canopy  is  “warping”  with  the  pilot  and  a  symmetrical  shutting  can  change  into 
asymmetrical,  which  is  connected  with  the  transition  into  rotation.  Therefore 
we recommend to grasp the “B” straps from the outside of the supporting straps 
in place  of  carbines  so  that  we  can  check  the  evenness  of  pulling  back,  and 
to start pulling back the “B” row of ropes down. We must pay attention to pulling 
for the whole time of this manoeuvre, so that it is symmetrical. If the glider starts 
rotating  while  pulling,  it  is  necessary  to  interrupt  this  manoeuvre  and  to  return 
the  straps  into  the  normal  flight  position  and  to  repeat  the  whole  procedure 
(to returning into the normal flight). 
While bringing the glider into the B-stall, it gradually comes to loss of the forward 
speed  –  dropping  of  the  pilot  under  the  deformed  canopy  and  a  stable  sinking 
flight.  If  we  decide  to  interrupt  the  B-stall  in course  of  the  first  phase  when  the 
regime  is  not  stable,  a  slight  outrunning  of  the  canopy  can  occur  (up  to  about 
45º).  We  release  the  B-stall  by  symmetric,  smooth  pulling  back  of  the  “B”  row 
of ropes,  which  we  do  not  extend  needlessly,  to  prevent  a  possible  sackflug. 
In case it still occurs, follow the recommendations concerning this regime.
