Full stall
Deflations
Full stall happens when you pull both brakes too hard. To return to the normal flight you
must release both brakes. After this usually comes a front dive with a possible front defla
-
tion.
Just because Escort-2 warns the pilot about stalling by increasing the brake load, it is highly
unlikely for you to enter it unexpectedly.
Deep stall (parachuting)
To get out of this mode you must pull А – risers or swing the wing
by pulling and releasing the brakes (preferably the first one).
Asymmetrical stall
It can take place when you pull one of the brakes too hard, or while spiraling at a small
speed in turbulence you increase the angle of attack. Rotation in the asymmetrical stall is
called negative spiral. This is one of the most dangerous flying situations. In order to get
out of asymmetrical stall, just release the brakes. There may follow side thrust forward with
a following wing collapse.
Frontal collapse
Escort-2 comes out of symmetrical front collapse by itself. You can pull the brakes about a
20 cm to speed the re-inflation.
Cravat
If the collapsed part of the canopy is entangled in the lines, you must try to release it by
pulling the ear-line. If you cannot do it and the rotation is increasing, you must use the
parachute.
Estimate the damage. If a brake has untied - no problem as Escort-2 can be steered well by
weight shift and pulling the back risers. Even if the damage allows for a sustainable control-
led flight, you should land as soon as possible. If normal flight is impossible, you must use
the parachute.
In flight damage
Self-rotation
Increasing rotation usually takes place when the pilot has not reacted properly to the asym-
metric collapse of the accelerated paraglider. Try to slow down the rotation by counter-
shifting your weight in the harness and pulling the outer brake. If the self-rotation is
increasing, drop the rescue parachute quickly in the direction of the rotation. This mode can
also take place when you make extreme turns of the overloaded paraglider.
