B-line stall
Grasp the B-risers at the quick links, and ease them down
symmetrically. Do not snatch them down.
The paraglider will enter a B-line stall and feel to drop
backwards before the pilot stabilises underneath the wing.
The descent rate increases to 6 - 8 m/s.
To exit the B-line stall raise both hands together in a single,
positive movement so that the risers are at normal full
extension again.
On releasing the B-risers, your AROLLA 3 should return
immediately to normal flight.
An adjustment error, control error or certain aerological
conditions may lead to a prolonged deep stall phase. A
push on the speed bar should initiate rapid exit from the B-
line stall state.
If the speed bar is not connected, pulling on the A-risers by
3
–
5 cm will have the same result.
CAUTION!
Unlike big ears and spiral dives (see above) a glider in a B-
line stall is in a true stalled position.
For this reason, a B-line stall should never be performed
close to the ground.
