What action should a pilot take if part of their PPC wing collapses?

When a part of the PPC wing collapses, the appropriate action is to wait for the wing to re-inflate. In many cases, wings can naturally recover shape as the pilot maintains control and allows the pressure within the wing to be restored. Activating the throttle can sometimes exacerbate the problem by increasing the load on the wing and potentially prolonging the collapse.

It’s essential for the pilot to stay calm and maintain level flight without overreacting, as sudden movements or rapid maneuvers can lead to further complications or complete loss of control. Similarly, attempting to land immediately can put the pilot in a precarious situation, as the wing may recover during flight. Therefore, waiting for the wing to re-inflate while managing altitude and control is the best course of action.
