Flying a hot air balloon is challenging but rewarding. You can't control its direction, only your altitude, and rely on wind patterns. Managing the burner system is crucial to control the temperature inside the envelope.
Weather changes affect hot air balloons more than other aircraft, so analyzing weather reports is necessary. Landing requires finding an open area free from obstacles. Piloting a hot air balloon requires technical knowledge, agile decision-making, and constant vigilance for a stable and controlled flight.
