Landing
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 Muscat-3 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 dam -
age it.
Deflations
Asymmetric collapse
Every paraglider may collapse in turbulent conditions.
Asymmetric collapses can be controlled by weight-shifting away
from the collapse and applying 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.
Symmetric front collapse
Muscat-3 comes out of symmetrical front collapse by itself. You can
pull the brakes about a 20 cm to speed the re-inflation.
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).
