Swing Mistral Betriebsanleitung Seite 27

RELEASE THE BRAKES! during this phase. The canopy then
contracts and stabilises itself above you, its "ears" pointing
forwards. To exit from full stall release the brakes slowly and
simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds. It is important to give the
canopy sufficient time to open up. That means: hold your hands
high!

Note: Should your "SWING-MISTRAL" fall into a full stall during a
previously described situation, do not suddenly release the
brakes, but guide the canopy back into its normal flying position.
Thus you prevent the pendulum effect (sudden dynamic advance
of canopy).
Negative Turns (Flat Spins)
They occur:
-Whilst braking hard when one brake is either applied more or
released faster than the other.
- Fast braking of over 70 % on one side only from normal flying
position. Flat spins usually occur during thermal flying, during
landing or when initiating a new flying position too hastily, or when
one brake is pulled beyond the critical point of 70 - 100 %.
Negative turns are indicated by the softening of the excessively
pulled side of the canopy, which recedes backwards. Should you
encounter this state, RELEASE THE BRAKES! The canopy will
automatically stabilise itself. Possible collapse of one wing half
can be countered as described in "flying in turbulence".
Front Tuck
This may occur in strong turbulence. "SWING - MISTRAL" will
automatically stabilise itself. You can aid this by braking on both
sides. Collapse of one wing and flying in turbulent conditions were
discussed above.
