Balloon Flying Menu >  Inflation, Launch, And Landing > Inflation > Briefing to Crew and Passengers > Passenger Briefing

Prior to inflation is the most appropriate time to give passengers their first briefing for behavior during the flight and landing. Inform them that during the landing they should stand in the basket where you indicate (based on wind conditions), facing the direction of flight, with feet and knees together, knees slightly bent, holding tightly to the sides of the basket. They are not to exit the basket until instructed to do so by you, the pilot.

The balloon is ready for inflation once the preflight preparation is complete. Equipment is stowed in the basket and in the chase vehicle. Park the chase vehicle upwind, out of the way in case of a wind change, with the keys in the ignition.
