Before entering a spiral, make sure you have adequate height for recovery. To enter the spiral dive,
weight-shift and progressively apply the inside brake until the glider enters the spiral. As the glider
accelerates into the spiral, centre your weight and control your rate of descent with weight-shift and
outer brake.
To exit the spiral, check your weight is centred (or slightly towards the outside) and progressively
release the inside brake. As the glider starts to exit the spiral, you may also choose to reduce the
pendulum moment by brie
fl
y re-applying the inside brake.

In the B-stall, a stall is provoked and the paraglider sinks vertically with a sink rate of approx.
8 m/s. The B-stall is suitable when there is an average ascent rate and little wind.
To enter a B-stall, grasp both of the B-risers on the mallions at the coloured mark. Pull both B-risers
evenly down until the air
fl
ow is broken and the wing goes completely into vertical descent
fl
ight
mode. The B-risers should then be held in this position to ensure a gentle descent.
Pull down the B-risers only until there is no air
fl
ow. If they are pulled down any further, the glider
could go into a horseshoe. Check before and during the B-stall that the airspace beneath you is clear.
For recovery return the B-risers quickly and evenly into their normal position. The glider may go into
a deep stall if they are released too slowly or into a negative spin if not released symmetrically. If you
enter a deep stall, increase the speed by using the speed system or by pulling the A-risers forward.
Big ears are the simplest method for rapid descent and have a sink rate of 3-5m/s. The advantage of
big ears is that the glider continues to
fl
y straight, meaning that a danger area can be avoided. It is
even possible to land using big ears, for example on a top-landing to compensate for the updraft.
