Hawaii Balloon flights

Balloon flights are promoted in Hawaii, and you can revel in this great way to rise above the earth while the conditions are favorable. While many outdoor enthusiasts have never even gotten near a ballon, those who have floated away in one remember this spectacular treat for years to come!

Each company has its own rules regarding the age of passengers. In general, passengers must be in normal health, with no recent broken bones. Passengers must also be able to stad for at least an hour.

Balloon flights can be accomplished by all ages. Most trips last more or less an hour, nevertheless check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Many have different offerings to buy from.

Do you need a license to fly a balloon?

Yes.
A Balloon Pilot Certificate is issued by the Federal Aviation Administration in the USA. You must pass an FAA written exam, obtain a prescribed number of hours of instruction, make a solo flight, a flight to a specific altitude and pass a flight test.

A pilot offering balloon rides (flying passengers for hire) must receive additional training and have more experience than a private pilot. You don't have to be able to fly an airplane since it is a completely different type of aircraft, although many balloon pilots also fly other types of aircraft like airplanes and helicopters.
