Instructional video - Balloonlive App
Dear pilots,
Andrew Robertson has made a very clear instructional video on how the BalloonLive App works.
For those who are not - or less - experienced with BLA here, I advise you to take a look at this one.
You can find the video via this link: https://youtu.be/vdNrcm0B2Fo

Flight Report Forms - Digital via Watchmefly.net
Dear pilots,
We will use the digital FRF during this competition.
The advantage of this is that the scorers will receive your FRF sooner, and therefore results can be calculated and published faster.
For those who are not familiar yet with this digital FRF, please take some time to look how everything works.
You can find an instruction video on https://watchmefly.net/blog/20210408-new-features.php or check the tutorial videos on https://watchmefly.net/blog/20210408-new-features.php
Kind regards,

Balloon Live App and Sensor - Test recording and operation recommendations
Dear competitors,
To best prepare for any technology hiccups to be solved before the start of the event, I would like to ask you to carefully read and follow these 3 important steps:
Check:
Please check the following:
-The latest version of Balloon Live App is installed (V2035)
-The Balloon Live Sensor has the latest firmware version (V4.19)
For further information and latest updates, please visit https://balloonlive.org
Test and Train:
To test the Balloon Live App with BLS connected, you will have to log in with your Watchmefly-account. Then select the 38° Campeonato Brasileiro de Balonismo 2025 - event to load the competition and flight data.
Practice flight 99 has been defined and is ready to be used for testing. To test that everything is running smoothly, start at least one flight recording and let the app record for a minimum of 5-10 minutes (the longer, the better). While recording this flight, please do also test dropping markers and declaring goals as mentioned in this TDS. Watch especially for a good reactivity of the system. May be you can also include a waiting time between selection of the marker/goal number and the final drop. This creates a realistic situation and will help eliminate potential problems. Don' t hesitate to repeat the recording. You can record multiple practice flights.
Once you stopped the flight, you can find your flight data on Watchmefly.net for download.
Until the General Briefing, we will check if all pilots have done such a test-recording with Practice Flight 99.
Get ready:
Finally, please download and read the new 'BLA and BLS Operations Recommendations', available for download on https://balloonlive.org/downloads/
If you have any problem, please check the FAQ on Balloonlive.org, or ultimately contact support@balloonlive.org
Kind regards,
Jonas Maes
