Front Deflations; Stall - KRILO free at last Mode D'emploi

attempts, the emergency parachute must be deployed immediately!
If levelling off (where control forces are not so high as to make this impossible) and subsequent
standard control measures are not sufficient to reinflate the wing, the following methods may be
successful given adequate altitude and pilot skills:
1. Pulling down the Stabilo-line (blue-coloured: on the C-riser!) may result in reinflation and in the
canopy's return to normal flight.
2. Only in the case of small entanglements and line-overs, collapsing the side in question in order
to take some load off the lines may allow you to return to normal flight.
3. Controlled stalling of the canopy leading it to slide backwards and the change in airflow over
the wing will usually undo the entanglement. NOTE: This should only be attempted by very expe-
rienced pilots trained in this technique! If you cannot undo the entanglement, you must consider
whether it is possible to make an emergency landing (small entanglement, holding canopy straight
works well, control still available) or whether you need to deploy your safety chute (large entangle-
ment, canopy can only be kept straight with the risk of
stalling, high sink rate, no control).

FRONT DEFLATIONS

Flying out of strong thermals with released brakes could result in a front collapse.
Usually, the canopy reinflates smoothly and on its own. Reinflation can be assisted and accelerated
by gently pulling both brakes.

STALL

PARACHUTAL STALL
The first step of a stall is the deep stall. The forward speed is close to zero and the glider descends,
with the canopy inflated. The BLUE has no tendency whatsoever to remain in a deep stall. In the
event of a deep stall not immediately ceasing by itself due to unusual circumstances, push the
A-risers forward gripping approximately six inches below the line link. This will shorten them until
the canopy has taken up speed again.
We urge you not to pull on the brakes as this may lead to spinning.
