Can a pilot steer a balloon ?
A hot air balloon pilot has a great amount of control of the vertical profile of the balloon flight. With experience a pilot will be able to control the balloon to within a few feet either up or down. Horizontal control though, is always a factor of the wind. Winds at different altitudes are sometimes different directions. So by changing altitude you can adjust your direction of travel slightly. Generally speaking though, you just go with the wind.
