Tether site should be a grassy or paved area, relatively level in slope

 

Balloon requires a minimum of 150 ft radius of unobstructed tether space

 

Tether site should be clear of obstructions, such as light poles, trees, buildings, etc

 

Power lines should be a minimum of 250 feet from the balloon

 

Balloon tether requires four tie-down anchors around perimeter, such as light pole bases, mature trees or vehicles.

 

Tether operator may supply either one or two vehicles for tie-downs, depending on agreement

 

Vehicles must have access to drive on-site

 

Optimum tether site is in a relatively low-lying area to help minimize the effect of high winds on the balloon

 

10% non-refundable deposit is required to schedule a tether

 

Additional Requirements

Two volunteers to assist with security and passenger handling

 

Table, chairs and water for volunteers

 

Additional tie-down points for balloon

Arrival/Set-Up/Take-Down

Operator arrives 1-2 hours prior to start of tether to set-up

 

Tether operator will arrive with a ground crew and commercial pilot to operate the balloon

 

Set-up usually requires 30-45 minutes once on-site

 

The ideal set-up is a recently mowed grassy field

 

Take-down usually requires 30-45 minutes from deflation of balloon

Weather Requirement

All tethers are performed at the discretion of the pilot in command and could be delayed/cancelled on-site due to weather/site conditions

Hot Air Balloons cannot safely carry passengers in winds over 8 mph. Tethered balloon rides are ideal with calm winds not exceeding 6 mph

 

If winds exceed the maximum for passenger carry, or gusty wind conditions exist, hot air balloons may be able to inflate without passengers for display purposes

 

Should the event be postponed due to weather or other circumstances prior to balloon team travel, tether may be rescheduled without additional costs (Pilot to consult with client prior to mobilization)

 

If balloon team mobilizes to the tether site but is unable to tether due to weather or other reasons out of the operator’s control, purchaser is responsible for 50% of the cost of tether, plus travel expenses

Cancelation Policy

Please allow as much advanced notice as possible if you need to cancel your flight. A cancellation fee may be charged for cancellations with less than 72 hours notice or failure to show the day of the flight.
