Warning
• Never combine ears with spirals. The canopy active area reduction plus the ‘G’ force, by
the centrifugal effect, may result in line and/or canopy damage.
• Exiting of any spiral at great speeds must be piloted.
• This maneuver requires high altitudes (at least 600 meters over ground) and is dangerous
due high descent ratio pilot can lose the altitude reference. Never do this maneuver without
sufficient experience.
To increase your sink rate, first apply a little speed bar (about 25%) and then pull in the (outer)
B3 lines simultaneously, firmly, and progressively. To exit the maneuver, release the tips
simultaneously and progressively and then release the speed bar.
To induce a ‘B-Stall’, the pilot must pull the risers ‘B’ simultaneously, between 15 and 20 cm.
There will be a shift of air flow on the outer layer and the canopy will initiate a parachutal
phase.
By releasing the risers ‘B’ quickly the airflow recoils on the outer layer and the canopy returns
to its normal flight position. In case the canopy does not recover to normal flight, refer to the
section on Wraps. The momentum of return creates a forward motion by the canopy. We
recommend avoiding braking the paraglider eliminating the possibility of a parachutal stall.
The load applied on the ‘B’ lines during this maneuver is not beneficial to your paraglider. Use
this maneuver only in emergencies. In the event risers ‘B’ are pulled too quickly or too deeply,
a horseshoe may occur towards the front. To regain normal flight, the pilot must apply the
brakes lightly.
The TR 27 is optimized for competition paragliding and is intended only for professional pilots
who can demonstrate above-average experience in safety training. The TR 27 is under no
circumstances suitable for a pilot’s first experience with safety training.
Special folding lines were used for certification of the TR 27 (refer here also to the section
“Folding lines”). Without these folding lines, tucks and front stalls may vary from the CCC
guidelines.
SOL Paragliders Gliders advises against subjecting the materials of the TR 27 to excessive stress
during a safety training course. Uncontrolled flight positions can occur during safety training,
which are outside the manufacturer’s limits for the paraglider and which can put the glider
under excessive stress.
Trimming the line lengths and canopy material after safety training can lead to a general
deterioration in flight characteristics.
Damage because of safety training is not covered by the warranty.
Like any other canopy, a negative angle of attack will result in a closing. In order to maintain
directional control upon a lateral asymmetric closing, the brakes must be applied on the open
side. In case of a major closing, the amount of braking must be well graduated, in such way to
avoid the airflow displacement (stall) on the open section of the canopy.
To facilitate the canopy re-inflation during a collapse, the steps above must be followed in
conjunction with a long and slow brake pumping action (2 seconds) with the toggle on the
closed side. The shifting of weight on the opposite side riser of the closing will also assist with
the re-inflation and increase safety, requiring less brake action and keeping away from the stall
point.
Pilot error, extreme wind conditions or turbulence which goes unnoticed by the pilot for too
long may leave the wing in an unusual flying position, requiring special reaction and skills
on the part of the pilot. The best way to learn how to react calmly and correctly in a serious
situation is to attend safety training, where you will learn how to manage extreme situations
under the guidance of a professional.
Ground-training is another safe and effective method of familiarizing yourself with your glider’s
reactions. Launch can be practiced, as can small flying maneuvers, such as stall, asymmetric
collapse, front stall etc.
Any pilot who flies in turbulent conditions or who makes an error in handling the glider is
at risk of getting into an extreme situation. All the extreme flight figures and flight attitudes
described here are dangerous if they are carried out with inadequate knowledge, without the
right safety altitude or without training.
Always keep within the recommended limits. Avoid aerobatics and extreme loading such as
spirals and big ears. This will prevent accidents and avoid over-loading the glider.
In turbulent conditions, always keep enough distance from rock faces and other obstacles.
Time and sufficient altitude are needed to recover from extreme situations.
Deploy your reserve if the corrective maneuvers described in the following sections do not
return the glider to a controllable flying position or if there is not enough altitude for correction.

Warning
• Extreme maneuvers must be executed under the supervision of a qualified instructor, on
safe courses and with the entire infrastructure available for above ground and water flying!
