Chandler Baloon rides

Baloon rides are the thing in Chandler, and you may revel in this unique sport when the weather is good. Even though many people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have flown in one remember this fantastic experience for life!

Baloon rides can be enjoyed by anyone. Most excursions last just about an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what they offer. Sometimes they have several trips to order from.

What are the differences between gas and hot air balloons?
A gas balloon is completely enclosed and is filled with helium or hydrogen. A hot air balloon gets its lift from heating the air within it. The Breitling Orbiter, which flew non-stop around the world in 1999, was a combination gas and hot air balloon.

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 Baloon rides in Chandler, understand that your trip will be rescheduled if weather conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more snapshots than you require.
