For single flight I don't intend to point out a flight in which on board there is an only person but the flight of an only hot-air balloon or, at the most, three. This type of flight is that that more it is lent to particular enterprises tied to the sensibility of the single pilot or the particular group of friends, for the little number of authorizations to ask. 
The hot-air balloon in fact can take off from whatever sufficiently ample place, provided that in the allowed zones, with the only obligation of the notification to the corporate body preceded for the control and following all the directives that same control will want to impart. Knowing how to choose the zone of flight, they don't exist other allowed by to ask.
The Lazio offers different opportunities of flight that, in the respect of the norms, can satisfy the most need. As an example the "maremma" in the north of Rome archaeologically offers stupendous flights on ample green spaces or on important countries as Tarquinia, Sutri or Nepi. Always to north in Rome adventurous flights can be programmed on the lake of Bolsena. Going down toward south is possible to fly on the Roman castles departing from the plain one of the "Pratoni del Vivaro", where we will obtain assistedthe assistance of the friends parachutists of the center directed by "Lino della Corte" , and even more down, on the lowland pontina, with calmer flights but not less entusiastic for the beautiful panorama that spaces from the sea of the Circeo to the Lepini mountains.
A superior number of hot-air balloons to three involves problems of management from the control of the aerial traffic for which it is not more acceptable to effect operations as if he flew alone. You imagine 20 hot-air balloons that depart all from a same field of take-off, but then they scatter him for the sky each with one own direction of his. In this case he passes to the organization of an aeronautical demonstration that involves the application of manifold permissions. 
The first involved corporate body is the Aero Club of Italy to which must be sent the whole necessary documentation and that will release the definitive opinion. Other involved corporate body are the ENAC, Corporate body National Civil Aviation that will send forth the appropriated NOTAM, the ENAV, National Corporate body of Assistance to the Flight that will furnish his own opinion on the problems related to the management traffic airplane and it will impose, if necessary, horizontal and vertical limits to the interested aerial space, the directions airport parties, the officers of the fire for the permissions of their competence, the various involved prefectures, etc. etc. It will be necessary, besides, to name a manager of the flights that will take care of the connections with the control and with the hot-air balloons in flight.
As you will have understood, it is not easy to make to fly together more than three hot-air balloons, however our corporate body of control, aeronautical and not they have always been very available, and they have always allowed us to also practise our sport in more numerous groups. Naturally we must demonstrate professionalism and competence. |
