IV.4.2
Calculating the Loads
Check the total flight mass in accordance with the diagram in Section V, and within the operating
limits (SECTION II.3) taking into account outside temperature and the altitude to be reached.
Exceeding the authorised load may lead to the deterioration of the envelope to overheating of the
internal air. Variations in temperature during the flight, and gas consumption may cause the pilot to
modify his or her flight conditions, especially the altitude.
IV.4.3
Crew: distribution of tasks:
Explain clearly his or her role to each member of the inflation crew.
IV.5
Inflation
•
First inflate the envelope with cold air using a stand-alone fan or a fan with boom, in
successive openings and closings of the mouth of the envelope, if possible up to 2/3 of the
volume.
•
The ground crew will:
o
hold the mouth open;
o
hold the crown of the balloon on the ground.
•
Then, open the pilot light gas supply spigots on the master bottles.
•
Ignite the pilot lights on the burners.
•
Open the bottle spigots.
NOTE: The entire inflation operation must be performed while the pilot is in the basket. The pilot
must be wearing gloves.
When the balloon has been raised to the vertical position, check the following:
•
Proper function of the parachute line;
•
Proper function of the FDS (fast deflation system) if there is one;
•
Proper function of the vents if there are any.
•
Presence of the handling line, on-board equipment, temperature displays.
