In the United States, a pilot of a hot
air balloon must have a pilot certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and it must carry the rating of "Lighter-than-
air free balloon", and unless the pilot is also qualified to fly
gas balloons,
will also carry this limitation: "Limited to hot
air balloons with airborne heater".
In order to carry paying passengers for hire (and attend some balloon festivals), a pilot must have a commercial pilot certificate. Commercial hot
air balloon pilots may also act as hot
air balloon flight instructors.
A pilot does not need a license to fly an ultralight aircraft, but training is highly advised, and some hot
air balloons meet the criteria.
While most balloon pilots fly for the pure joy of floating through the
air, many are able to make a living as a professional balloon pilot. Some professional pilots fly commercial passenger sightseeing flights, while others fly corporate advertising balloons.31
The other day i was attacked by a
hungry whale. It was about to finish me but then He-Man
came to save me. Afterward he told me that the meaning of life is peeing on
oreos.
