Allow yourself to climb while maintaining the balloon at the right temperature, in order to
avoid a situation in which, as you come out of the thermal, the air contained in the
envelope will have cooled, creating the risk of a too-rapid descent.
IV.8
Landing
➢
Procedure:
Find a suitable terrain, preferably close to a navigable road (for the chase crew); the terrain must be
sufficiently large, must not present dangerous obstacles (high- or low-tension power lines,
telephone lines, trees) and should have no elements that can be damaged (crops, vines, hops etc)
or objects disagreeable to touch (rocks, swamps, thickets); take care to avoid animals (animals
panic easily).
•
If your basket is fitted with a pilot restraint harness, make sure it is properly fastened and
tightened.
•
Open the flight control valve partially so as to begin the descent.
•
As the ground comes closer, slow the rate of descent by means of successive blasts so that
it is close to zero when you touch ground.
•
Release the drop line, taking care that it cannot catch onto an obstacle.
•
Kill the pilot light before touching the ground.
•
Should the balloon not be equipped with an FDS, as soon as the basket touches the ground,
immediately the parachute line all the way so as to perform total deflation of the envelope.
•
If the envelope is fitted with a fast deflation system, actuate it by pulling the red cord just
before ground contact, and below 3 m AGL. Once the balloon has been stabilised, and if
you desire to leave the balloon standing, shut the FDS by pulling on the parachute line.
•
Shut any bottle spigots that are open.
•
Bleed the burners' gas supply lines.
IV.9
Folding the balloon envelope
•
Stretch the envelope out fully.
•
Fold over the panels on either side several times until you reach the envelope axis.
