Can anyone fly a balloon?
No, you must be licensed to fly a balloon just like any other aircraft. Hot air ballooning is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and pilots must pass two written tests as well as two flight tests before they are licensed to carry paying passengers. There are other requirements as well, but if you are interested in finding out more about becoming a licensed pilot, email us today. We would be happy to provide you with more information about flight instruction!
