Pilot Training

Learning to fly a hot air balloon to private pilot license standard (PPL) is relatively straight forward.

To gain you PPL you will need

• To be medically fit
• fly a minimum of 16 instructor hours
• fly an aviation check flight with an examiner
• undertake a solo flight in the presence of an examiner following a successful check flight
• pass five written examinations.

We can provide pilot training in the UK, Italy or Spain together with accommodation and travel arrangements where necessary.

We can also help with the written exams and provide an examiner for the final check flight.

Further, we can help with independent advice regarding purchasing a new or used hot air balloon together with all ancillary  equipment necessary to learn to fly or we can rent you one of our balloons. Either way, contact us for more information.
