EASA Balloon Pilot License Exam Trial for student pilot, aviation enthusiast

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Balloon Pilot License Hot Air is a license that authorizes the holder to act as a pilot-in-command of hot air balloons within the European Union. It is issued by EASA in accordance with the regulations set forth in Part-FCL (Flight Crew Licensing) of the EASA Aircrew Regulations.

To obtain an EASA Balloon Pilot License Hot Air, an individual must meet certain eligibility requirements, including being at least 17 years of age, holding a valid medical certificate, and completing a minimum amount of flight training and experience under the supervision of a qualified flight instructor.

The flight training must cover various areas such as aerostatics, aerodynamics, meteorology, navigation, flight planning, and emergency procedures. The applicant must also pass theoretical knowledge exams covering topics such as air law, human performance, and navigation.

Once the required flight training and theoretical knowledge exams have been completed, the applicant must pass a practical flight test with a designated examiner. The flight test includes a demonstration of the applicant's ability to operate the balloon safely and efficiently in various conditions, including takeoff and landing, navigation, and emergency procedures.

Holders of the EASA Balloon Pilot License Hot Air may act as pilot-in-command of hot air balloons for non-commercial operations.

The EASA Balloon Pilot License Hot Air is recognized throughout the European Union, allowing the holder to fly hot air balloons in any member state without the need for additional licenses or endorsements.

Balloon Pilots place the balloon at different altitudes at certain times in the flight to change the direction of the flight path. Operation of a hot air balloon is done by the Pilot controlling the temperature and volume of the balloon adding heat to go up, maintain level flight and slowing the balloon's descent rate.
