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
Two volunteers to assist with security and passenger handling
Table, chairs and water for volunteers
Additional tie-down points for balloon (see image above)
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
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
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.
