The balloon flies with the wind, at the same speed and same direction. At different altitudes, your pilot might find different winds. By expertly navigating, he can use them to change direction. By adding heat with the burner or by letting the balloon cool down, the pilot will be able to control his altitude very accurately and enable the balloon to fly high up as well as really close to the terrain. 80% of our landings are on the trailer. Should there be fast winds on the ground, you will experience a “sports landing”, where your basket will “tip over” and it will drag for a few meters before coming to a stop lying on its side.
