Balloon Flying Handbook introduces basic pilot knowledge and skills that are essential for piloting balloons. It introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. This handbook is for student pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates. Student pilots learning to fly balloons, certified pilots preparing for additional balloon ratings or who desire to improve their flying proficiency and aeronautical knowledge, and commercial balloon pilots teaching balloon students how to fly should find this handbook helpful. This book introduces the prospective pilot to the realm of balloon flight and provides information and guidance to all balloon pilots in the performance of various balloon maneuvers and procedures. It is essential for persons using this handbook to become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14CFR and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Performance standards for demonstrating competence required for pilot certification are prescribed in the appropriate balloon practical test standard.

Written for student pilots who are learning to fly hot-air balloons, certified pilots wishing to add balloon ratings to their license, and commercial balloon pilots who are teaching students, this is the FAA's first textbook specifically for balloon flying. Subjects covered include equipment and components; preparing for flight, inflation, launch, and landing; inflight manoeuvres; and postflight procedures such as deflation and fueling. Complete information on special operations, emergency procedures, regulations and maintenance, earning a pilot certificate, and appendices of sample weather briefings, checklists, and a reprint of 14 CFR Part 31 (the regulation governing airworthiness standards for manned balloons) make this a complete balloon-flying certification study kit.

This book is inspired by the transatlantic solo ballooning/sailing efforts of the 1960s and 1970s. In this alternative history recast at some uncertain future date, the "crossing curse" is still in effect and no one had been successful yet in completing this feat. The three Calvez brothers try to reach Europe as part of fulfilling their parents' dream. However, when success is in their grasp, they disappear in broad daylight never to be heard again. What happened to them is an intensive investigation to separate the myths of family stories with the dark secrets of the elusive truth. A tale of adventure, mystery, daring, and trying to succeed against overwhelming odds.
