By hotairballoonist in Video Tutorials
There are many pilots all over the country interested in the scores from balloon events.

HotAirBalloonist.com has made posting scores a 30 second process! This video explains how simple it is to post all the scores from your event. You can post every event in seconds. Here are the requirements.

This is easy to do, currently we are offering a FREE Event Organizers membership for a FULL YEAR to anyone who would like to post scores. Second, we would like for you to post a link to the "Event Scores" forum on your events website. Last, If your event is not on our Events Calendar please take a moment and post it. You can post event dates, details, contact information and MORE. Once your event is posted on the HotAirBalloonist.com calendar it will also appear on the Member Map.
All you need to do is send us an email. Let us know the name and the email of the person you would like to have permission to post scores. That is it! Email us at Info@HotAirBalloonist.com

Balloon Flying Handbook
By hotairballoonist in Student Training
This Balloon Flying Handbook introduces the 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, certificated 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.
This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). There are different ways of teaching, as well as performing flight procedures and maneuvers, and many variations
in the explanations of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook adopts a selective method and concept to flying
balloons. The discussions and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and principles. Occasionally, the word
“must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not intended to
add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
It is essential for persons using this handbook also to become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and
the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Performance standards for demonstrating competence required for pilot
certification are prescribed in the appropriate balloon practical test standard.

How to cancel a membership.
Please understand that this site is run by the membership dues our members pay and we sure do not want to see you leave, we understand that things change in our personal lives. Unlike many sites and some other programs we do not HIDE or make things super difficult to get out of a membership on the HotAirBalloonist.com site. However, we understand that the site is very large and you may not know where to go or what to look for when you need to cancel a membership so we have made this video to make it even more simple for you to do so. We do not want you to leave but if you need to we understand.
