Wind speed?
Author Last Post

Thanks for the update

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far
These don't have to be FAA documents... are there any other good sources?
Are there any additional documents available?  I want to learn as much as I can.
Thanks for posting the FAA document, it has lots of useful information.
Here is an FAA document that gives guidelines about Balloon Flight Safety
General advice:
Balloons fly best in light and stable winds of 4-6 miles per hour.
Maximum safe winds are 8-10 miles per hour.
I'm new to this... what is the best wind speed for balloon flight?
When is it too windy?
