Introduction
Section 3 provides a checklist and amplification for coping with emergencies
that may occur. Emergency situations can be minimized by proper pre-flight
inspections and maintenance.
Caution:
Canopy jettison and bailing out should be trained several times on the
ground before flying the aircraft.
3.2
Canopy jettison
To bail out the white-red canopy opening handle (left) has to be operated with
your right hand. Open the canopy as far as possible. If the canopy is not blown
away by the oncoming air, you may release the open canopy by operating the
red emergency release handle (right) with your left hand.
The retaining lines will tear off.
3.3
Bailing out
First jettison both canopies, then open the safety harness and bail out.
The low walls of the front cockpit allow for a quick push-off exit.
3.4
Stall recovery
Easing the stick forward and picking up a dropping wing with sufficient
opposite rudder the glider can be recovered from the stall.
To recognize and prevent the stall, please refer to section 4.5.2.
