Front Stall; Parachutal Stall (Deep Stall); Full Stall - Nova PHOR2 Betriebshandbuch

- pulling the stabilizer line or lines causing problem.
- should both measures fail, it is possible to untangle the line over by inducing a full
stall. This manoeuvre, however, should only be carried out by advanced pilots with
experience in extreme flight situations and with sufficient altitude available.
IF THESE MANOEUVRES FAIL OR IF IN ANY DOUBT, THE PILOT SHOULD
INSTANTLY USE THE RESCUE SYSTEM!

Front stall:

A front stall can be induced by strongly pulling the A-risers or by sudden, heavy
turbulence. The entire leading edge impulsively collapses.
Gentle braking on both sides will reduce the lateral pendulum motions and simul-
taneously accelerate reinflation. The NOVA PHOR2 generally self recovers from
an initiated front stall.

Parachutal Stall (deep stall):

The paraglider has no forward momentum combined with a high descent rate. A
parachutal stall is caused, among other reasons, by a too slowly exited B- stall or
severe turbulence.
Porous canopies or canopies out of trim (stretched or shrunken lines) are much
more susceptible to a parachutal stall and therefore should not be flown. These
are some of the reasons regular checks should be carried out on your glider.
The NOVA PHOR2 generally is self recovering from parachutal stall. If the canopy
remains in a parachutal stall, it is sufficient to gently push both A risers forward or
to push the accelerator.
WARNING: IF BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE IN A PARACHUTAL STALL, THE
GLIDER MAY SUDDENLY ENTER A FULL STALL.
In close proximity to the ground, due to the forward surging pendulum effect, a
recovery may be more dangerous than a hard landing in parachutal. If landing in a
parachutal stall, the pilot should prepare for a hard landing and make a parachute
roll landing.

Full stall:

To induce a full stall, apply full brake on both sides.
The glider slows down steadily until it stalls completely. The canopy suddenly
surges backwards a long way. In spite of this uncomfortable reaction of the
canopy, both brake lines must be consequently held down with all your strength
until the canopy is stabilized (directly overhead).
