Attention! The spiral is not a simple manoeuvre.
The kinetic energy built up must be controlled so as to allow a controlled exit from the spiral
.
C.
B-line stall
Grasp the B risers at the quick links and pull them down symmetrically. The paraglider stalls
and drops backwards before stabilising overhead. The descent rate increases to 6-8m/s.
To exit the B-line stall raise both hands together with a single, quick, movement. As soon
as you release the B-risers the METIS 2 should return to normal flight. If the B-line stall is
exited incorrectly it may go into a parachute (deep) stall.
Application of the speed bar will effect a recovery. If there is no speed bar then by pulling
down on the A-risers by 4-5cm you should achieve the same result.
Caution: unlike big ears & the spiral, in the B-line stall the glider is in a stalled state.
All the above described manoeuvres might be difficult to make as we speak about a 40 square
metres wing. The pilot should be well aware of the fact and should be well trained to handle
those manoeuvres even if flying with the maximum take off of 220 kilograms.
