PHI FANTASIA, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 11 / 19

A very heavily used wing with a porous cloth and / or with an incorrect trim (for example, as a result of many
winch starts or deep spirals) can stay in a stable parachutal stall. This can happen, e.g. when the B-stall is
released slowly, or a er a large frontal collapse.
In addition, the tendency for a parachutal stall is higher with a wet glider or by flying in the rain or in very
cold air.
In the case of a stable parachutal stall you should release any brake inputs and push the A-risers forward or
pull them down, or - even better - push the accelerator. A er a slight pendulum movement, the glider returns
to normal flight.
In the case of a parachutal stall close to the ground the pilot has to decide whether the altitude is high
enough for a pendulum movement or it is better to prepare himself for a hard landing.
Attention!
When the wing is in a parachutal stall, additional brake input may result in a fullstall!
8.Cravates
A er a big collapse or a er a badly executed full stall, a part of the wing might be tangled up in the lines, and
wonʼt reopen automatically. This is what you call a cravate. During our extensive test flights with the
FANTASIA we never experienced a cravate but this situation can not be eliminated for any paraglider.
In case of a cravate we recommend the following actions:
1. Counter steer: Probably the wing wants to turn to the side of the cravate. In some cases, the turning
happens quickly and will end in a stable deep spiral without the pilotʼs action. So it is important to
react quickly by counter steering.
2. Opening the cravate by applying the brake with an impulse movement: Some cravats can be
opened with this method. It is important to keep the wing in straight flight by pulling the other
brake all the time.
3. Pulling the stabilo line: Some cravats can be opened by strongly pulling the stabilo line. (It is the
orange line on the B-riser. Have a look at it or grab it every once in a while and you will be able to
react quicker in a moment of danger.)
4. Induce a collapse on the side with the cravate. Sometimes this helps as well to get rid of the
cravate.
5. Full stall: Many cravats can be opened by using the Full Stall. But of course you have to have solid
experience with this maneuver to be able to use it properly.
6. Reserve: If you lose control or if you are not absolutely sure that you have enough height for further
attempts to recover, immediately use your reserve!
7. Landing: In some cases it could be the best option to land with the cravat still inside. When you still
have good directional control and a large landing area this can be the safest option. Be aware that
the wing will stall earlier during the flare.
Many pilots wait way too long before using their reserve. Some donʼt use the reserve at all if they lose control
of their glider. We strongly recommend to at least mentally practice the use of the reserve from time to time:
Grab the handle of the reserve in flight, like you would do it in case of an emergency. Many clubs or schools
offer to throw the rescue (for example in a gym). The most realistic way of training is to use the reserve in real
flight. Many SIV Clinics offer that as part of their training.
Please use these possibilities: There are already too many pilots, who almost forgot that they have a reserve
they could use, which is a very bad precondition to use it without hesitating in a dangerous moment.
9.Winch launch
The FANTASIA is very easy to launch on the winch. You should start to climb at a flat angle.
