Ballon rides around Syracuse    

Syracuse Ballon rides

Ballon rides are the thing in Syracuse, and you could revel in this fun way to fly when the weather is good. Even though many people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have floated away in one remember this wonderful experience the rest of their life!

Ballon rides can be experienced by anyone. Most trips last nearly an hour, but check with your ride company to find out your options. They might have different offerings to buy from.

The burner is fueled by propane, and is used by the pilot to heat the air inside the balloon's envelope (the fabric part above the passengers). When the air is heated, the balloon rises.

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 look for Ballon rides in Syracuse, realize that your ride could be rescheduled if conditions are less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or too hot. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll take many more pictures than you expect.
