6.4 Line Over or Cravatte 

This situation did not occur on any of the test flights with the P43. This problem can 
not be excluded because maybe through extreme turbulence or pilot error ( lines not 
preflight checked before launch), the canopy gets caught in the lines. The pilot  
should stabilize the glider by gently counter braking. Without help from the pilot a line 
over usually results in a stable spiral dive. Following actions can be used to correct a 
line over : 

• 

Pumping on the affected side 

• 

Pulling the Stabilo lines 

• 

Collapsing and reinflating the affected side 

• 

If none of those actions are successful a possibility would be to correct the line 
over with a full stall 

Attention:

 Those Maneuvers should only be performed by experienced pilots 

especially  trained for extreme maneuvers and with a lot of altitude. If any of 
the above described actions will not help release the line over or the pilot 
feels overwhelmed, immediately activate the reserve chute. 

6.5 Negatve Spinning 

In general a paraglider should not be induced into a negative spin. Safety Clinics train 
negative spinning over water, with life west and a rescue boat. The idea of the train-
ing is to feel your way to the end of the rising air column. In order to recover from a 
negative spin release both brakes. The P43 will recover automatically and continue 
with normal flight. In none of the PARATECH test flights or testing for the DHV rating 
did negative spinning occur. 

Attention:

 This type of maneuver results in a big altitude loss. 

6.6 Full Stall 

Attention:

 It is very important to understand that in coming out of a full stall  

if the brakes are not completely or not at the right moment released the dan-
ger as with any other paraglider is to fall into the canopy!
