The brake line pressure on a tandem glider can be very high and can be more than the pilot can
handle. For the well being of passenger and pilot, in case of doubt, always deploy the rescue pa-
rachute.
Front stall
The glider can be front-stalled with a strong pull on the A-risers or when encountering sudden
down drafts.
The leading edge collapses impulsively along its entire length. Light brake pressure can reduce os-
cillations around the longitudinal axis and will help to speed up the opening of the canopy.
The skywalk JOIN´T3 will recover from a front stall by itself. Should the recovery be delayed by tur-
bulence, you can support it with light braking on both sides. Make sure that you don’t over brake
your glider!
paracHutal stall
The JOIN’T3 never showed a tendency to parachutal stall in the entire development phase.
Despite this, it is possible to perform a parachutal stall. Gliders with porous material (UV radiation)
are especially susceptible, as are those that are burdened frequently by winch tow launches. A pa-
rachutal stall can also occur when the glider is flown in rain (soaks up moisture). The glider has no
forward speed and a high sink rate.
The skywalk JOIN´T3 will normally recover from a parachutal stall by itself. If this doesn’t happen,
the pilot can end the stable parachutal stall by pushing forward on the A-risers at the level of the
line shackles or by opening the trimmer.

neGatIve spIn
A paraglider enters a negative spin when one side of the wing is stalled.
The canopy rotates around the vertical axis with the center of rotation located within the wing-
span. The inside wing flies backwards.
