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.
