WARNING: The high G-forces experienced

in steep or prolonged spirals may

result in disorientation or even

loss of consciousness. Spirals with

descent rates above 10 m/s are not

recommended.

CAUTION: Frequent steep spirals may

cause premature aging of your wing.

WARNING: Do not attempt to enter a

spiral dive while in big ears. This places

excessive forces on the paraglider and

may result in structural failure.

To exit the spiral, check your weight is centred (or slightly towards the outside) and

progressively release the inside brake. As the glider starts to exit the spiral, you may also choose

to reduce the pendulum moment by brieﬂy re-applying the inside brake.

The Carrera has no tendency to remain in a stable spiral dive under normal conditions. In line

with the latest certiﬁcation requirements, the Carrera will recover spontaneously, after the inside

brake is released, from a spiral dive with a sink rate of up to 14m/s with the pilot in a neutral

sitting position. However, in certain cases, such as spirals with excessive sink rates or wrong

harness settings, pilot action may be required. In such cases, exit the spiral by weightshifting to

the outside and progressively applying the outside brake.

B-stall

Although it is not recommended for normal situations, the B-stall does not present particular

difﬁculties.

To enter a B-stall, symmetrically pull down the B risers. This action may require considerable

effort. To exit the manoeuvre, release the B-risers smoothly and symmetrically. Be sure to allow

the glider to resume normal ﬂight before making any other actions.
