Salt Lake City Air balloon flights

Air balloon flights are the rage in Salt Lake City, and you could revel in this wonderous interest year around. Even though numbers of people have never even been up close to a balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this great experience for a long time!

Air balloon flights can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Most charters last almost an hour, but check with your pilot to find out your options. Sometimes they have several trips to buy from.

Competition pilots have become quite skilled in reading the winds aloft and using them to their advantage to get where they want to be (the target!). Competitors have gotten so good that the difference between first place and third or fourth can be fractions of an inch.

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.

As you search for Air balloon flights in Salt Lake City, remember that your flight could be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or windy. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more snapshots than you require.
