Negative spiral
The LT 1 has a long way on the brakes and difficulties to enter in a negative spiral.
But if one of the brakes is extremely pulled downwards it can happen.
The side with the brake pulled down enters in a stall, while the other side maintains open.
In this case the brake must be loosened at once, before the glider turns 180º, in order
to get the glider back to normal flight. Depending on the situation in which the brake is
loosened, the canopy can react quite dynamic and kick forward provoking a collapse.
Line Over
Emergency flying
If the tip of the wing is trapped in lines it could cause a positive spiral, which is
difficult to control. To get out of this situation, first stabilize your wing and get him
into normal flight. In other words control direction. Than pump on the side of the
Line Over. During this procedure lean on the opposite side, otherwise there is a risk
to turn or increase the spiral.
You also may try to pull the stabilo lines (AR3), the line on the riser (A'), to free the
canopy. Watch out for the brake to avoid a stall on the clean side.
If the Line Over is big and all the counter action does not help and the glider is not to
manage, release the reserve, whilst you are having height enough.
In case of a brake line crack or the brake line is trapped or anything else happened
and doesn’t allow to use the brakes, use the (B risers) and weight shifting to steer the
glider. Land on the nearest possible side. This situation could happen in case of poor
maintenance of the equipment or an extreme flight situation.
Attention: the steering commands on (B risers) are much shorter than on
the brake lines.
