2) Selection of an appropriate take off place for hot air ballooning is one of the most imperative thing. The take off place should be far away from any obstructions like tress, pools, buildings etc. The place should have a vast area and its position should be according to wind%u2019s direction. You should keep in mind that wind should lead you in an open area, which has been selected as a visiting place, from takeoff point.

3) Now, attach the basket and burner with envelop of balloon and fill a proper quantity of cold air in it with the help of fan. After being ready for flying, the pilot and passengers climb up in the balloon readily.

4) The actual duty of pilot in flying of hot air balloon is to raise or lower the balloon according to wind%u2019s direction. For knowing the direction of wind, he uses several techniques like dropping of shaving gel from balloon%u2019s height to lower and viewing its direction of travel, observing the direction of smoke coming from chimneys, waving a flag in air etc.  Actually, the major concern of pilot is to know the height and direction of wind, means the air is blowing upward the balloon or downward, so that he could adjust the height of balloon.

5) No doubt, the direction of balloon%u2019s travel depends upon the direction of wind; however, you can adjust the height the balloon as per requirement. If you want to raise the height of balloon, just increase the temperature of balloon and vice versa.  

6) Smooth landing is as important as all other factors. If there is high wind speed at ground level, you could take advantage of trees, as trees block the air, and land in a small valley.
