Fedor is on the final leg home but relaxing at this stage is not an option.\u00a0 The morning started with significant valving of helium as it is heated by the sun.\u00a0 This has been necessary for the last few days as fuel is consumed and the system becomes lighter.\u00a0 Without losing some of the helium the balloon would climb to a height which would be unsafe for the pilot even though he is breathing oxygen which is stored as liquid in a 100 liter tank.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon with the balloon settled to a \u2018comfortable\u2019 cruising level around 8,500 metres Fedor, with very precise advice from the Cameron Balloons engineers was able to de-ice the three frozen pilots lights and get all burners working again.\u00a0 This will be essential as in a few hours\u2019 time the balloon will catch up with a severe low pressure system which Fedor will have to jump over.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

To quote our weather advisor David Dehenauw: \u00abFedor is approaching frontal conditions and will stay with it as the front is aligned with the jet stream. Fedor can stay at current flight level (8000 meters) till 05-06 UTC, it should keep him above most of the clouds but be vigilant for Cumulonimbus tops that could be higher. From 5-6 UTC on, go to 8500-9000 meters (30\u00a0000 feet). From 10 to 16 UTC a minimum of 9000 (FL300) will be required as we come near the core of the low. After 17 UTC, things will be improving again and you can gradually drop to 8500 m\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Crossing the low pressure system will take around 24 hours, require a continuous altitude around 9,000 metres and take the balloon as far as 65 degrees south before swinging north to Australia. Steve Fossett faced similar conditions in the latter part of his successful RTW flight although the jet stream was further north on that occasion.<\/p>\n

In Fedor\u2019s own words he is in \u2018survival mode\u2019.<\/p>\n
