Take-off
•
If possible, use a quick release attached to the chase vehicle;
•
Place the balloon in aerostatic equilibrium; the pilot must be near the quick release;
•
Heat the air in the balloon sufficiently to obtain proper take-off; The ground crew will test
the balloon's readiness to take off by quickly releasing and gripping the basket;
•
When releasing the balloon, check that none of the ground crew are snagged on the basket;
•
If there is a quick release; detach it. If there is a high wind, be careful of false lift caused by
the quick release.
•
Note the time of take-off so as to monitor gas consumption;
•
Maintain the temperature inside the balloon with short blasts to achieve a steady climb
rate until the desired altitude.
NOTE: When outside temperature is low, pilots are advised to take off with a lower payload than
shown in the graph. This is because pressure in the bottle is reduced when ambient temperature is
reduced; as a result, less heat is generated and the balloon will react more slowly, especially when
landing.

Monitoring during flight
The flight must be performed within authorised operating limits (Section II page 2.1).
You should often check the following:
•
gas level and time elapsed;
•
temperature monitoring fuse presence (unless the balloon is fitted with a thermometer
sensor).
