SPIRAL DIVE. When you turn a series of tightening 360s the paraglider will enter a spiral-a highly banked turn with rapid height loss. The longer you hold the inside brake on, the faster the turn becomes. Safe descent rates of 8 metres/second(500 ft/min approx.) are possible in a spiral dive, but at these high speeds and G-forces it is easy to become disorientated, so you must pay particular attention to altitude. 3, record 2, English, - spiral%20dive

On parle de 360 engagés quand le pilote, à haute altitude, engage un virage à 360° et le poursuit jusqu'à faire 3 ou 4 tours, ce qui l'amène à réaliser une spirale. C'est une technique qui nécessite tout de même une maîtrise du vol. La force centrifuge augmente à chaque tour et n'est pas à négliger, ni le taux de chute qui peut dépasser les 10 m/s. 4, record 2, French, - 360%20engag%C3%A9s

L'horizon artificiel [...] sert à indiquer la position d'un avion par rapport à l'horizon terrestre symbolisé par une ligne séparant deux zones de couleurs différentes, l'une indiquant le ciel, l'autre la terre. L'attitude de l'avion est déduite de la position de cette ligne qui fournit des précisions sur le roulis et le tangage. Des marques sur les côtés précisent le degré d'inclinaison de l'avion et une bille située dans la partie inférieure informe le pilote du [taux de dérapage]. 2, record 12, French, - taux%20de%20d%C3%A9rapage

During a turn the nose of the aircraft is continually pitching up. Your pitch gyro will see this and attempt to stop it. This results in the nose dropping, and a decrease in altitude. Your pressure sensor will sense this loss of altitude and attempt to correct it. So, effectively, the gyro and pressure sensor will be working against each other(slightly) and the end result is that your plane will not hold the desired altitude, but one slightly lower than the desired altitude. This is especially true in the early portions of the turn. 2, record 13, English, - pitch%20gyro
