ED Decision 2020/002/R
BALLOONS
Baskets, burners and fuel cylinders are components which are often interchanged between different balloons. Furthermore, they are often removed/installed by the pilot-owner (or by other persons when such removal/installation is not considered maintenance because the task is described in the AFM).
As a consequence, an EASA Form 1 does not need to be issued when these components are removed in serviceable condition from a balloon, and can be installed on another balloon as long as the person performing the installation has access to the appropriate maintenance records necessary to establish their serviceable condition. In particular, due attention should be paid to the inspection dates of the various components.
This does not supersede the requirement to release any maintenance performed on such components either on an EASA Form 1 or equivalent or on the balloon maintenance log book, as applicable.
