excluded.
IV.11
Using the Fast Deflation System (FDS)
Use the FDS when you need to rapidly decrease lift during landing.
➢
Limits:
The FDS must only be used when bringing the envelope to a complete stop, and never more than 4
m AGL. For tethered flight, the FDS must only be used to empty the balloon for the final landing.
The FDS must not be used at the same time as the parachute cord.
➢
Check:
Before take-off, check proper operation of the FDS. Actuate the red chord so as to bring the
parachute towards the centre. When there is a complete circle of visible sky between the
parachute and the balloon opening, close the parachute by pulling on the parachute cord (red and
white).
It may be necessary to pull the parachute cord (white and red) a second time to ensure that the
parachute is properly placed and properly sealed.
➢
Assembly:
When preparing for inflation, attach the FDS control cord (red) to the load frame, making sure it has
no knots, and that it is not tangled in the envelope cables or any other lines.
IV.12
Night flight
It is essential to prepare the flight properly: Weather conditions, flying time and flying range so that
the balloon is able to keep flying until sunrise. Do not hesitate to carry more fuel than you think you
need.
In addition, the following equipment must be carried:
•
The lights required for operating conditions;
•
A VHF transceiver;
•
A GPS;
•
One or even several pocket lamps.
