Wingover; Rapid Descents; Spiral Dive; Big Ears - Nova PHOR2 Betriebshandbuch

Too tight cross bracing increases the probability of a spin with most paragliders!
NEVER DO AN INTENTIONAL SPIN OVER LAND OR IF YOU DON'T HAVE

Wingover:

To induce a wingover the pilot flies consecutive alternating turns to gradually
steepen the angle of bank.
During wingovers with high bank angle, the outside wing begins to unload. Further
increase of the angle of bank must be avoided, for a possible resulting collapse
may be quite dynamic!
WARNING: A TURN WITH MORE THAN A 90 DEGREE ANGLE OF BANK IS
FULLSTALL, SPIN AND WINGOVER (OVER 908) ARE ILLEGAL. AEROBATIC

Spiral dive:

The spiral dive is the fastest way to lose altitude. As explained previously (see un-
der main section "Flight" ) they have a rapid descent rate, however, the very high
G-forces make it difficult to sustain a spiral dive for long and it can place high loads
on the pilot and glider. As soon as any, even slight, light headedness or impaired
vision is noticed the spiral should be exited immediately.
If done in strong winds the pilot may drift off course.

Big ears:

When doing big ears, the horizontal speed is higher than the sink rate, unlike a
spiral dive or a B- line stall. This rapid descent technique is used to quickly and
horizontally exit a dangerous area into desired direction.
In order to collapse the outside wing, use the „big ears system".

PARAGLIDER!

Rapid Descents:

NEVER DO BIG EARS IN A SPIRAL!
