Sky Country Escort-2, Быстрый старт

Страница: 6 / 14

Landing
We recommend to land with trimmers in closed position.
In small winds, when you have 1-2 meters to the ground, you should pull the brakes gently
to your arms’ full length, so that you put your Escort-2 in stall at a height of about 0.2 -- 0.5
m and the horizontal speed is zero.
In strong winds you must land facing the wind. If necessary you can fold the ears. As you
approach the ground, you must take В-risers while holding the brakes. As soon as you hit
the ground, you must turn towards the glider and pull B-risers running towards the wing.
If the wing is flopping about a meter above the ground, release the B-risers and pull the
brakes hard to your arms length. We do not recommend you to use the brakes in the strong
wind, as the wing could catch the wind and pull the pilot.
Do not let the glider overtake you and hit the ground with its front edge, which leads to
increased pressure in the wing and may damage it.
Deflations
Asymmetric collapse
Every paraglider may collapse in turbulent conditions.
Asymmetric collapses can be controlled by weight-shifting away from the collapse and ap-
plying a small amount of brake to control the flight direction. At the same time you should
use the brake to re-inflate the canopy.
Remember that the deflated glider has higher stall speed and smaller brake travel. That is
why you should be careful not to pull the brake too hard to avoid stall.
