Line-Over
In the eventuality of lines going over the canopy during flight, the pilot must take the
following steps:
•
Try to maintain a straight flight: Shift the weight to the open side of the paraglider
and assist with a light brake tension on the open side.
•
To re-open: Pull the stabilizer line on the closed side (first line of riser ‘B' of a
different color) until the line entanglement is cleared.
•
If the line-over is serious, if it's not possible to maintain a stable flight (spiral) and if
there is sufficient altitude (>400 m), there is a chance of resolving this mal-function
by executing a 'Full Stall'. In case the above maneuver does not solve the problem,
or if the altitude is not sufficient, the pilot can activate the emergency parachute
(reserve).
Warning
Line-overs are generally the result of poor preparation before takeoff, collapses during
acrobatics or lateral asymmetric closings.
Frontal Symmetric Closing
Risers 'A' and 'A1' are tightly pulled until a complete closing of the Leading edge is
achieved, then quickly release the risers until it is closed. The pilot should not hold the
risers after the closing. Special attention must be given to ensure enough altitude is
available.

) does not have parachutal stall tendencies and recovers on its own
from an intentional parachutal stall induced by braking commands. In the event of a
parachutal stall upon coming out of a B-Stall, it is enough just to pull the risers 'A'
downwards or the accelerator, thus reducing the angle of attack, therefore
reorganizing the air flow contact to the canopy.
