The NOVA PHOR2 generally flies backwards during a full stall but doesn’t always
form a front rosette.
A frontal rosette can be formed by entering the full stall slowly. When entering
(braking) fast, the canopy will not always form the desired front rosette.
ALWAYS APPLY BOTH BRAKES EVENLY!
To recover from a full stall, both brakes must be let up symmetrically at a fast to
moderate speed (within 1 second).
The NOVA PHOR2 surges forward a moderate amount after recovering from a full
stall, whereby a resulting front collapse is possible. Gentle symmetrical braking If
the pilot does not brake the canopy, the NOVA PHOR2 surges forward to 90°
angel. In the worst case a big collapse will follow.
An ”asymmetric” recovery (one control released faster than the other) from a full
stall can cause a big dynamic collapse.
IF A FULL STALL IS RELEASED TOO EARLY, TOO SLOW OR TOO FAST, OR
OTHERWISE INCORRECTLY, THE CANOPY CAN SURGE EXTREMELY FAR
FORWARD.
The danger of overcorrecting and overreacting exists during all extreme flight ma-
noeuvre;
thus, any corrective action must be gentle and steady and done with feel!
Spin (or negative spin):
During a spin the canopy turns relatively fast around the centre section of the
canopy while the inner wing flies backwards (hence the term negative).
There are two usual reasons for an unintentional spin:
- one brake line is being pulled down too far and too fast (e.g. when inducing a
spiral dive)
- when flying at low speed one side is being braked too hard (e.g. when
thermalling).
To recover from an unintentional spin, the pulled down brake line should be imme-
diately released as soon as a spin is suspected. The canopy will accelerate and
return to its normal straight and stable flying position, without losing too much
height.
In case the spin is allowed to develop for some time, the NOVA PHOR2 surges far
forward on one side and a dynamic asymmetric collapse or a line over can occur.
If so, brake gently to stop canopy surging and correct any collapse: See ”col-
lapses”.
