EXAMPLESWhen flying into strong thermals, you have to release the brakes. When flying into falling airstream, pull the brakes. This way you can avoid extensive changes of the angle of attack.In turbulent air, you feel the release in pressure on parts of the glider through the feedback fromyour brakes. You can balance this by quickly pulling the brake a little more until the pressurereturns. Always apply brakes softly and progressively. Don't slow down your glider too fast as thiscan increase the danger of stalling!By active flying you can avoid almost all deformations of the glider in advance.Accelerated flyingWe remind you to fly only under wind conditions that allow for normal flight with the glider inuntrimmed position.To accelerate open both trimmers successively. After reaching the desired speed, check that bothtrimmers are opened evenly.On activating the trimmers, pitch angle changes only slightly, because the rear risers are extended.This means that the JOIN’T is also very resistant to collapses with opened trimmers.Nevertheless trimmers should be closed in strong turbulences, but certainly under turbulentconditions on final for landing.Avoid flying with too short brake lines, otherwise the speed potential cannotbe called upon.Accelerated collapses tend to be more impulsive and require increased readiness to react.NEVER LET GO OF THE BRAKE HANDLES!14
