    4.1 FLYING IN TURBULENCE Negative spin degree of passive safety, even in turbulent conditions. All paragliders must be piloted for the prevailing conditions and the pilot is the ultimate safety factor. We recommend active flying in turbulent conditions, always taking measures to maintain control of the wing, preventing it from collapsing and restoring the speed required by the wing after each correction.

We should note that the wrong inputs can lead to loss of control of the glider. The To resume normal flight conditions, progressively and symmetrically release the brake line tension to regain air speed.
