•
Heat the air in the envelope with successive blasts using the burner gas valve; stay within
operating limits (Section II page 2.1).
➢
Level flight:
•
Maintain the temperature inside the envelope as steady as possible. To do this, the pilot
gives small successive blasts; this technique is learnt through proper training.
IV.7.2
Switching fuel tanks
Switch over to each of the bottles as follows:
•
Shut the spigot of the empty bottle;
•
bleed off the supply pipe;
•
disconnect the spigot of the empty bottle;
•
reconnect the supply pipe to a full bottle;
•
immediately check that it is working properly by short blasts from the burner;
•
when all additional bottles are finished, switch to the master bottle circuit by turning the
valve three times.
IV.7.3
Wind gusts
During a flight, you may encounter wind gust or wind shear. This has the effect of flattening the
balloon and therefore reducing its volume. The resulting descent caused by loss of hot air volume
will be partly compensated by the balloon's descent. However you will also need to compensate
the loss of volume with the burner by reintroducing warmed air.
If there are wind gusts, land as soon as possible.
Should there be wind shear, limit the descent rate so as to reduce the effect of the wind shear.
IV.7.4
Ascending air currents or "thermals"
Should you be caught in one of these air movements:
