I recently listened to a great interview with Jocky Sanderson, founder of paraglider SIV training (cloudbasemayhem podcast, episode 19).
It got me thinking about stuff I could be doing in my HG to practice for safety in the rough stuff. So, what are some good maneuvers to practice when you're high above landing in good air?
Some specific questions:
- How aggressive can you get with straight stalls before tumbling becomes a real danger? (i.e. is stalling with the nose 45 degrees high a good thing to practice?)
- What's the best way to enter and recover from a spin?
- What about trying to stall mid-wingover. Is that a really bad idea?
- Any others?
I'd especially appreciate thoughts from experienced pilots who have actually practiced this stuff and know a fair bit about it. Many thanks.
