Balloon Equipment

All of our balloon equipment is FAA Certified and meticulously inspected by an approved FAA repair station. Balloons are inspected either annually or every 100 hours, whichever comes first. In addition to ongoing balloon maintenance, our balloons are visually inspected by the pilot prior to and after each successful flight as part of our daily flight operation. Each flight is logged in accordance with FAA regulations.
