Video starts 10 mins into flight. This was Travis' first flight in 3 months, so it was a bit of a refresher. He and Dave worked on a controlled ascent to 3700 ft (AGL), navigation, PZ management, airport communication, controlled descent and congested landings.

Dave and Travis worked on controlled accents, airport operations, a terminal velocity decent, navigation, fuel management and landing.

Dave and Travis worked on fuel management, navigation, "corkscrew method" of flying to a target, dropline usage discussion and landing. Cover photo by Stu Smith

Worked on Aeromedical - hypoxia, airport operations, light signals, steep approach, high wind landing.

Unfortunately, the battery died about 10 mins before the end of flight. Travis and Dave in flight worked on airport operations (radio communication, airspace in/near Class C). Launches and Landings (normal launch with tie-off, approach to landing, normal landing, landing on whisper valve). Performance maneuvers (ascents, level flight, descents, winter flying). Navigation (flight planning, landi...

Worked on preflight procedures, crew management, wind shear, fuel management, power line avoidance and emergency procedures.

Pikes Peak Flight February 01, 2021

Travis and Dave worked on weather, preflight procedures, launch site selection, inflation, navigation and congested flying and performed two landings.

In this flight, Travis and Dave worked on weather reports, launch site selection, burner relighting, landings, landing over obstacles, passenger management, accents and descents. 6 landings in one flight!

Flying from our local flying field, Travis and Dave worked on preflight procedures, weather plan, fuel management / empty tank practice, emergency procedures (fuel leak, fire) and performed two landings in order to practice "moving" over obstacles to provide for cleaner layout spaces or lack of access, etc. Short debrief caught on video.

Video begins about 20 minutes into flight (technical difficulties). Travis Thorpe flying in Fredrick, CO under the instruction of Dave Bair. They worked on equipment setup, fuel leak check, cold inflation, hot inflation, navigation, power line avoidance, fuel management and emergency procedures. Given wind speeds, and flying in an unfamiliar area, Dave took control of the balloon for landing. A...
