BFCL.150(b) BPL – Extension of privileges to another balloon class
or group
ED Decision 2020/003/R
EXTENSION OF HOT-AIR BALLOON CLASS PRIVILEGES TO ANOTHER HOT-AIR BALLOON GROUP
(a) The training flights should concentrate on the differences between the group for which privileges are sought and the group(s) for which the pilot already has privileges. For example, handling needs to consider balloon performance differences arising from greater mass, inertia, response to the burner and, in some cases, differing deflation systems. Additional requirements arise for dealing with larger numbers of passengers.
(b) Instructors should only sign off as ‘training completed’ when they are satisfied that the pilot under training has achieved full technical and operational competence for balloons of all sizes included in the given group.
(c) An extension to group C is also valid for groups A and B. An extension to group D is also valid for groups A, B and C.
