Page 14: Fast Descents
Glider user's manual | STEP Light FAST DESCENTS The following techniques should only be used in emergencies and require prior training to be safely conducted. Appropriate analysis and anticipation of the conditions will often prevent the need to use fast descent techniques. We will advise you to practice in still air and preferably above water. - Page 15 To prevent excessive stress on the glider we do not recommend combining spiral dives with "Ears". Conforming to the B-class of EN-926-2, the STEP LIGHT glider does not show any tendency to stay in a locked spiral configuration and will return by itself to a normal flying angle in less than three full rotations when the brakes are brought back up.
