In the USA, you must be trained by a commercial balloon pilot (all commercial balloon pilots also hold instructor privledges), pass a written exam, and pass a checkride. The FAA has pushlished a great Student Pilot Guide that explains all the details. It is recommended for anyone who is interested in learning how to go about getting their pilot license. You can order and download a PDF version of the Student Pilot Guide from our store here: We also recommend the Balloon Flying Handbook which is the best student book available: |
