Hot air ballooning in Dorset

Posted in on July 27, 2010

Most people who love air activities look for ballooning, which is known as the best adventure sport in England. Being 5, 000 feet above the surface of the earth, sipping on champagne (or a soft drink!), one can see landmarks of the countryside from many different perspectives. A valley that runs from the south of Somerset through to Dorset is one of the most attractive view points for those who experience ballooning in Dorset. The town, the river basin and the Blackmore vale all together make the view dynamically exciting in a hot air balloon.

Ballooning in Dorset starts from either Shaftesbury or Sherborne and people are extremely excited before the trip that allows them to view the county as never before. The area of Dorset is simply amazing because whichever way the wind takes you, you can see the greatness of the landscape and the scenes of medieval times very clearly along with the Southern coastline of England (allowing sights of Christchurch and Bournemouth). This is one of the reasons why ballooning in Dorset is so popular and people want to have a chance of experiencing it. It does't matter where the wind takes the balloon what can be seen throughout the flight is the truely memorable.

Basic requirements of pilot training

Posted in on June 29, 2010

Hot air balloons are not easy to pilot, rather that, they are very difficult. They must be flown early in the morning or during the evening. This is because the air during this time is still quite controllable for pilots. During the day, a lot of interference may be there with hot air rising (thermals) which give instability to hot air balloons.

As regards decision of any of you to become a pilot you will find that there are many types of pilot licenses that require thinking and planning. Planning has to be done with respect to money and time. It needs to be checked first of all what are the rules in the area one is living. A total of 16 hours of flying time has to be showed as experience (in the UK). There is a time limit for achieving this and this is usually 2 years. Four instructor flights have to be shown which are perfect in every sense without any errors, which result in a “Completed without help” tick in one’s training book. As well as a checkout, recommendation and solo flight must be conduct in that very order. Only after having completed this requirement, a friend can be taken along for the ride with the student now being a fully qualified private hot air balloonists.
