The CAA is committed to improving how we deliver services, please help us by completing a short survey about your experiences today

The guidance that hot-air balloon operators provide on the passenger position to be adopted
during landing varies and none have been subjected to scientific scrutiny. The objectives of this study were to evaluate by numerical simulations, current methods for protecting passengers of balloons during landings, and to propose possible improvements. The protection methods include the passenger landing positions as well as the protective measures in the basket.
