Balloons operate through the basic principles of gravity and heat transfer. As air inside the balloon is heated, it rises. As the air inside the balloon cools, it descends. To make the balloon fly, an inflator fan fills it with air, which is then heated. What to wear? Please dress comfortably. Hats, gloves, closed comfortable shoes, and sunglasses are recommended. During the Winter months, you may want to wear an extra sweater or jacket, as it is often cool before the sun comes up. Temperatures in flight are similar to those on the ground. Can you steer a balloon? Winds determine a balloon's direction. Balloonists can steer a balloon, to a limited extent, by adjusting the balloon's altitude to make use of different wind speeds and directions. What fuel do balloons use? Sport hot-air balloons carry 20 to 45 galloons of propane in stainless steel fuel tanks. Why do winds fly in the morning and evening?
Do you need a pilots license? Yes. There are two levels of balloon pilot ratings. The first is a private pilot. The pilot must have at least 10 hours of flight time in free balloons, which include six flights under the supervision of an instructor. The private pilot must pass a written test, oral test and a flight check prior to being issued a private pilot's license. The second rating is a commercial pilot. The commercial pilot must have at least 35 hours of flight time, of which at least 20 must be in balloons ( the remaining 15 hours may be in other aircraft). The commercial pilot must pass an additional written, oral and flight check prior to being issued a commercial pilot's license. The holder of a commercial pilot's license may operate a balloon for hire and may give flight instruction. Advertising
