THE AXION USUALLY SELF RECOVERS FROM A FRONTAL STALL AFTER
RELEASING THE A-RISERS. TO HELP THE RECOVERY, BOTH BRAKES
SHOULD BE MODERATELY APPLIED.
Line over :
If for any reason, lines are tangled or looped around the canopy during flight, the
following action should be taken:
Maintain straight flight by gently and feel fully correcting for direction!
Check the situation carefully and once the line(s) looped around the canopy, is/are
identified pull it/them gently to untangle.
Pumping of the brakes in a line over doesn’t always work.
If a very large unrecoverable collapse and line over occurs, it may be possible, to
clear the problem by entry and safe recovery from a full stall. This should only be
carried out if sufficient altitude is available. If insufficient height is available
(300m/1000ft), or if in any doubt, the pilot should strongly consider reserve
deployment.
Deep stall :
The SOL KANGAROO generally does not remain in deep stall, and is self
recovering, when releasing any brake or rear riser input used to enter it . In case
the recovery from a B-stall was not dynamic enough and the canopy remains in a
deep stall, it is sufficient to gently pull down both A- risers to reduce the angle of
attack and re-attach airflow to the canopy.
Emergency steering :
In case it is impossible to control the SOL KANGAROO with the control lines the
outer D-lines, D-risers may be used to steer and land the canopy.
Rapid Descents
Spiral dive :
Spiral dives as explained previously have a rapid descent rate, however, the very
high G-forces make it difficult to sustain a spiral dive for long and it can place high
loads on the pilot, the passenger and glider. Never do these in turbulence or at too
high bank angles.
If done in strong winds the pilot may drift off course.
