Grabbing the stabilo main line
A negative angle of attack can also cause part or all of the leading edge of the glider to collapse.
Symmetric (frontal) collapses will normally re-open without pilot input. The paraglider will pitch
forward and then regain speed. Assist this process if necessary with a symmetric application of the
brakes. Take care not to apply too much brake for too long as this may stall the wing.
In the case of extreme front stalls across the entire wing chord, the wing tips may move forward
making the glider form a U-shape. Again, recovery is by light symmetrical braking on both sides. Take
care that both wingtips return to normal
fl
ight evenly.
Types of stall
When a paraglider
fl
ies through the air, a laminar and turbulent boundary layer is created. Extremely
dangerous
fl
ight con
fi
gurations can result if the laminar boundary layer is interrupted, with practically
the entire air
fl
ow along the top surface breaking away. This happens in particular when the angle of
attack is too great.
