Santa Rosa Hot air balloon tripsHot air balloon trips are in demand in Santa Rosa, and you could enjoy this fantastic way to fly when the weather is good. Even though some people have never even been up close to a balloon, those who have flown in one remember this marvellous experience for a long time!Hot air balloon trips can be enjoyed by all ages. Most adventures last approximately an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what they offer. Sometimes they have different packages to order from.
Do you need a license to fly a balloon? Yes. 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 Hot air balloon trips in Santa Rosa, understand that your charter might be rescheduled if weather is unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll snap many more photos than you require.

Balloons are aircraft, regulated under the same Federal Aviation Regulations as every other category of aircraft. Balloons are aerostats, that is, static within the air. Once the balloon is buoyant, it moves with the air mass in which it floats, no faster, no slower, no different direction. The pilot has altitudinal control, and can alter the balloon's course by finding an air mass going in a slightly different direction.
