The pilot's "correction for direction" must be followed by a "pumping out
of the deflation", a slow, long pumping action on the brake of the
deflated side of the wing helps the canopy to re-inflate.
Fullstall :
To induce a full stall, apply full brake on both sides and hold the brakes
in that position.
The NOVA XYON generally flies backwards during a full stall and forms
a front rosette.
The canopy must be stabilised before letting out the full stall. If the
canopy is not stabilised and the full stall is let out too early the canopy
may surge forward a long way.
To recover from a full stall both brakes must be let up symmetrically at a
moderate speed (1 second).
The NOVA XYON surges forward a little bit after recovering from a full
stall whereby a tuck may occur.
An "asymmetric" recovery (one control released faster than the other)
from a full stall is used by test pilots to simulate a paraglider falling out
of a thermal and must not be practised by inexperienced pilots.
An asymmetric recovery from a full stall may result in a big, dynamic,
tuck.
The danger of overcorrecting and overreacting exists during all extreme
flight manoeuvres: Thus, any corrective action must be gentle and
steady !
Spin :
A spin is induced when the pilot in full speed (DHV test) or in very slow
flight (AFNOR) pulls one control line all the way down very hard and
very quickly.
During a spin the canopy turns relatively fast around the centre section
of the canopy while the inner wing flies backwards.
To recover from a unintentional spin, the pulled down control line should
be eased off as soon as the situation is noticed, so that the canopy may
accelerate and return to its normal straight and stable flying position
without losing too much height. For recovery from an intentional spin,
also release pulled down control line. Watch for any surging.
