BPL - (Balloon Pilot Licence)
General information
People who have had the opportunity to fly a hot air balloon claim that nothing has ever happened to them so beautiful in their entire lives and the pilots are well known for smiling all year round – it is said to be the effect of endorphins produced during free balloon flight.
This course allows you to obtain a BPL license, which entitles you to act as a hot air balloon commander.
