Balloon Pilot Training
Thinking about sport aviation?
The Air Display Hot Air Balloon Team is available to provide hot air balloon pilot training from the ground up. Air Display can provide assitance with the purchase of your first balloon, outfitting your ground support, insurance and act as a liason to the balloon festival circuit. Let Ken Rolland's 29 years of experience prepare you for your own ballooning adventures.
The Air Display training syllabus includes ground school, practical training and written exam preparations. Since Ken is an Authorized Person with Transport Canada (TC), Air Display can provide your Student Pilot Permit (SPP, required for solo) and issue the SPP as a temporary Pilot permit as soon as your training is complete.
Currently application is being made to invigilate the two Transport Canada written exams (PSTAR and PIBAL) in an effort to make the licensing experience even less cumbersome.
To get your Canadian Balloon Pilot License you'll need:
- to be 16 years of age
- a Category III aviation medical
- 16 hours of practical flight training (includes solo time) accumulated within 24 months
- 10 hours of ground school training (regulations, weather, navigation, aircraft airworthiness)
- 2 written exams (PSTAR and PIBAL) to have been completed no longer than 12 months prior to solo
