Steilspirale

Halte dein Gewicht in der Spirale 
neutral. Eine aktive Verlagerung 
des Gewichts auf die Aussen-
seite und ein Nachziehen der 
Aussenbremse sind erforderlich, 
um eine schnelle (stabile) Steil-
spirale auszuleiten.

ACHTUNG: Spiralen mit EN-D 
Geräten erzeugen aufgrund der 
grösseren Streckung und der 
längeren Leinen eine höhere 
G-Belastung. Sie können zudem 
bereits bei neutraler Sitzposi-
tion stabil weiterdrehen.

ACHTUNG: Achte bei der Auslei-
tung auf ausreichend Höhe über 
Grund. Generell muss der gleiche 
Zeitbedarf wie zum Einleiten 
einberechnet werden.

Deep Spiral

In a spiral you should keep your 
weight neutral in the harness. 
Active outside weightshift and 
application of outside brake are 
both essential for recovery from 
a high speed, stable (locked in) 
spiral. 

CAUTION: Deep spirals with 
EN-D wings create a higher 
G-load due to the higher aspect 
ratio and longer lines. They also 
can become stable (locked in) 
even if the pilot is in a neutral 
position.

CAUTION: Make sure you 
have plenty of height for the 
recovery. As a general rule 
it takes the same time to 
recover as to initiate this diving 
behaviour.

Spirale engagée

Lors d’une spirale, garde le 
poids de ton corps centré de 
façon neutre dans la sellette. 
Un déplacement du poids vers 
l’extérieur du virage et une 
traction sur le frein extérieur 
sont deux éléments essentiels 
pour sortir d’une spirale stable à 
haute vitesse.

ATTENTION : Les spirales avec 
les parapentes EN-D génèrent 
une charge G plus importante en 
raison de l'allongement et des 
suspentes plus longues. De plus, 
les spirales peut continuer à 
tourner de manière stable même 
en position assise neutre.

ATTENTION : Assure-toi que 
tu as assez d’altitude pour un 
retour en vol normal. En règle 
générale, il faut le même temps 
pour le retour en vol normal que 
pour enclencher la spirale.
