Hot Air Balloon Championship Debrecen - Summary

John Petrehn, the  U.S silver medal champion of this year win the first place, gaining the second World Championship, while the second rung of the podium made by Nick Donner the  U.S. champion of this year

What is also a tournament?

During the race, a hot air balloon pilots must read the winds in different directions at different altitudes, as the only means of navigating the altitude change, so the races really are not as accurate as possible, as quickly as possible and not the target of arrival. The pilots' practice can be applicable as three-dimensional sailing maneuvering.

The races usually consist of a task that must fly closer to one or more (up to 5) specified target, when this is done, the pilots drop out of the basket a indicator shot, and the score of the pilot is calculated from distance of target and landed shot. The pilots can be assisted by using of terrain maps, GPS  and laptop. There are a number of competitions, where the pilots have to fly to a specified point of the sky and the larger part of the targeted area should be flied, or have to fly with larger changing of direction or angle.
