1. Don't overcrowd the baskets.

  • Maintain 0.25 m2 of space per passenger.

2. Brief passengers before the flight.

  • Use the time on the ground to brief passengers, as there may not be time during the flight.

3. Use the pilot restraint harness.

  • Ensure the pilot is securely restrained during approach and landing to prevent pilot ejection from the basket.

4. Correct landing position.

  • Before the approach rebrief the passengers on the landing procedure and landing position.
  • Before you touch down, make sure everyone is in the correct landing position.

5. Land on the long side of the basket.

  • Always aim to land on the longer side of the basket to prevent excessive impact for passengers.

6. Perform a tangential landing.

  • Ensure the deflation system opens while the balloon is flying parallel to the surface at a low altitude.
