Early years Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier
Born 6 January 1745Annonay, Ardèche, France Died 2 August 1799 (aged 54)
Neuchâtel, Switzerland Occupation inventor
The brothers were born into a family of paper manufacturers in Annonay, in Ardèche, France. Their parents were Pierre Montgolfier (1700–1793) and his wife, Anne Duret (1701–1760), who had sixteen children. Pierre established his eldest son, Raymond Montgolfier, later Raymond de Montgolfier (1730–1772), as his successor.
Joseph, the 12th child, possessed a typical inventor's temperament—a maverick and dreamer, and impractical in terms of business and personal affairs. Étienne had a much more even and businesslike temperament. As the 15th child, and particularly troublesome to his elder siblings, he was sent to Paris to train as an architect. However, after the sudden and unexpected death of Raymond in 1772, he was recalled to Annonay to run the family business. In the subsequent 10 years, Étienne applied his talent for technical innovation to the family business; paper making was a high-tech industry in the 18th century. He succeeded in incorporating the latest Dutch innovations of the day into the family mills. His work led to recognition by the government of France as well as the awarding of a government grant to establish the Montgolfier factory as a model for other French paper makers.
Early experimentsOf the two brothers, it was Joseph who first contemplated building machines as early as 1777 when he observed laundry drying over a fire incidentally form pockets that billowed upwards.[3] Joseph made his first definitive experiments in November 1782 while living in the city of Avignon. He reported some years later that he was watching a fire one evening while contemplating one of the great military issues of the day—an assault on the fortress of Gibraltar, which had proved impregnable from both sea and land.[4] Joseph mused on the possibility of an air assault using troops lifted by the same force that was lifting the embers from the fire. He believed that contained within the smoke was a special gas, which he called Montgolfier Gas, with a special property he called levity.
As a result of these musings, Joseph set about building a box-like chamber 1×1×1.3 m (3 ft by 3 ft (0.91 m) by 4 ft) out of very thin wood, and covering the sides and top with lightweight taffeta cloth. He crumpled and lit some paper under the bottom of the box. The contraption quickly lifted off its stand and collided with the ceiling. Joseph then recruited his brother to balloon building by writing, "Get in a supply of taffeta and of cordage, quickly, and you will see one of the most astonishing sights in the world." The two brothers then set about building a similar device, scaled up by three (so 27 times greater in volume). The lifting force was so great that they lost control of their craft on its very first test flight on 14 December 1782. The device floated nearly two kilometers (about 1.2 mi). It was destroyed after landing by the "indiscretion" of passersby.[5]
Public demonstrations
First public demonstration in Annonay, 4 June 1783
The brothers decided to make a public demonstration of a balloon in order to establish their claim to its invention. They constructed a globe-shaped balloon of sackcloth with three thin layers of paper inside. The envelope could contain nearly 790 m³ (28,000 cubic feet) of air and weighed 225 kg (500 lb). It was constructed of four pieces (the dome and three lateral bands) and held together by 1,800 buttons. A reinforcing fish net of cord covered the outside of the envelope.
On 5 June 1783, they flew this craft as their first public demonstration at Annonay in front of a group of dignitaries from the États particuliers. Its flight covered 2 km (1.2 mi), lasted 10 minutes, and had an estimated altitude of 1,600-2,000 m (5,200-6,600 ft). Word of their success quickly reached Paris. Étienne went to the capital to make further demonstrations and to solidify the brothers' claim to the invention of flight. Joseph, given his unkempt appearance and shyness, remained with the family. Étienne was the epitome of sober virtues ... modest in clothes and manner...[6]
A model of the Montgolfier brothers' balloon at the London Science MuseumIn collaboration with the successful wallpaper manufacturer Jean-Baptiste Réveillon, Étienne constructed a 37,500-cubic-foot (1,060 m3) envelope of taffeta coated with a varnish of alum (which has fireproofing properties). The balloon was sky blue and decorated with golden flourishes, signs of the zodiac, and suns. The design showed the intervention of Réveillon. The next test was on the 11th of September from the grounds of la Folie Titon, close to Réveillon's house. There was some concern about the effects of flight into the upper atmosphere on living creatures. The king proposed to launch two criminals, but it is most likely that the inventors decided to send a sheep, a duck, and a rooster aloft first.
On the 19th of September 1783, the Aérostat Réveillon was flown with the first living beings in a basket attached to the balloon: a sheep called Montauciel ("Climb-to-the-sky"), a duck and a rooster. The sheep was believed to have a reasonable approximation of human physiology. The duck was expected to be unharmed by being lifted aloft. It was included as a control for effects created by the aircraft rather than the altitude. The rooster was included as a further control as it was a bird that did not fly at high altitudes. This demonstration was performed before a crowd at the royal palace in Versailles, before King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette.[7] The flight lasted approximately eight minutes, covered two miles (3 km), and obtained an altitude of about 1,500 feet (460 m). The craft landed safely after flying.
Manned flight
A 1786 depiction of the Montgolfier brothers' historic balloon with engineering data. Details are available in translation on the image hosting page.With the successful demonstration at Versailles, and again in collaboration with Réveillon, Étienne started construction of a 60,000-cubic-foot (1,700 m3) balloon for the purpose of making flights with humans. The balloon was about seventy-five feet tall and about fifty feet in diameter. It had rich decorative touches supplied by Réveillon. The color scheme was gold figures on a deep blue background. Fleur-de-lis, signs of the zodiac, and suns with Louis XVI's face in the center interlaced with the royal monogram in the central section graced the majestic machine. Red and blue drapery and golden eagles were at the base of the balloon. It is fitting that Étienne Montgolfier was the first human to lift off the earth, making at least one tethered flight from the yard of the Réveillon workshop in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. It was most likely on October 15, 1783. A little while later on that same day, Pilâtre de Rozier became the second to ascend into the air, to an altitude of 80 feet (24 m), which was the length of the tether.[1][2] On 21 November 1783, the first free flight by humans was made by Pilâtre, together with an army officer, the marquis d'Arlandes.[8] The flight began from the grounds of the Château de la Muette (close to the Bois de Boulogne (park)) in the western outskirts of Paris. They flew aloft about 3,000 feet (910 m) above Paris for a distance of nine kilometers. After 25 minutes, the machine landed between the windmills, outside the city ramparts, on the Butte-aux-Cailles. Enough fuel remained on board at the end of the flight to have allowed the balloon to fly four to five times as far. However, burning embers from the fire were scorching the balloon fabric and had to be daubed out with sponges. As it appeared it could destroy the balloon, Pilâtre took off his coat to stop the fire.
The early flights made a sensation. Numerous engravings commemorated the events. Chairs were designed with balloon backs, and mantel clocks were produced in enamel and gilt-bronze replicas set with a dial in the balloon. One could buy crockery decorated with naive pictures of balloons.
In early 1784 the Flesselles balloon (named after the unfortunate Jacques de Flesselles, later to be an early casualty at the Bastille) gave a rough landing to its passengers. In June 1784 the Gustave saw the first (singing) female aeronaut, Élisabeth Thible.
Following launches
Manuscript of Montgolfier describing his invention, 1784In 1766, the British scientist Henry Cavendish had discovered hydrogen, by adding sulphuric acid to iron, tin, or zinc shavings. The development of gas balloons proceeded almost in parallel with the work of the Montgolfiers. This work was led by Jacques Charles and les Frères Robert (Anne-Jean Robert, and Nicolas-Louis Robert). On 27 August 1783, their hydrogen balloon was launched from the Champ de Mars in Paris. Six thousand people paid for a seat. On 1 December Jacques Charles and Nicolas-Louis Robert flew La Charlière, the first manned hydrogen balloon, for 2 hours 5 minutes and covered 36 km. Jacques Charles immediately flew again, alone, and ascended to 3,000 meters.
Work on each type of balloon was spurred on by the knowledge that there was a competing group and alternative technology. For a variety of reasons, including the fact that the French government chose to put a proponent of hydrogen in charge of balloon development[who?], interest in hot air balloons was largely superseded by gas balloons over the following decades.[citation needed]
Hydrogen balloons were used for all subsequent major ballooning accomplishments, such as the crossing of the English Channel on 7 January 1785 by the Franco-American aviators Jean-Pierre Blanchard and Dr. John Jeffries. In recent times many aviation endurance records have been achieved by hybrid balloon designs such as the Rozière Balloon; which combine the altitude control of hot air balloons with the permanent buoyancy of lifting gases.
Competing claimsSome claim that the hot air balloon was invented some 74 years earlier by the Brazilian/ Portuguese priest Bartolomeu de Gusmão.[9] A description of his invention was published in 1709 in Vienna, and another one that was lost was found in the Vatican in about 1917.[10] However, this claim is not generally recognized by aviation historians outside the Portuguese-speaking community, in particular the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.
The Montgolfier companyThe Montgolfier Company still exists in Annonay (Ardèche, France). In 1799, Etienne de Montgolfier died. His son-in-law, Barthélémy Barou de la Lombardière de Canson (1774–1859), succeeded him as the head of the company, thanks to his marriage with Alexandrine de Montgolfier. The company became "Montgolfier et Canson" in 1801, then "Canson-Montgolfier" in 1807. Nowadays, Canson still produces fine art papers, school drawing papers and digital fine art and photography papers and is sold in 120 countries.

We were flying along when one of my passengers made several looks at her watch. I asked her if she needed to be somewhere at a specific time? She said with a straight face. "No but isn't it time for us to turn around and head back?"
With my best straight face I replied... "I was thinking the same thing but my ground team is just up ahead a few miles. If I turn around now I am going to have to make them drive all the way back as well so I think we will just land up here where they are."
She was perfectly happy with that answer.
My back up answer was, "My reverse is broke!"

Recently there has been much discussion about the BFA NTSB & FAA and balloon safety. The NTSB recently suggested to the FAA that balloon ride operators should have a letter of authority from the local FISDO to conduct balloon rides.
We have created this poll to find out the general opinion of balloonists. Please take a moment to answer a few quick questions.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
For more information:
Sam Parks, President, BFA704-902-0124
Scott Appelman, Chairman, BFA BROD505-379-3640
BFA CAUTIONS NTSB RECOMMENDATIONS ARE UNNECESSARY AND BURDENSOME; OFFERS
PARTNERSHIP WITH NTSB/FAA TO IMPROVE TOUR RIDE OPERATOR SAFETY
The NTSB’s recent recommendation to the FAA that balloon tour ride operators be required to obtain a Letter
of Authorization (LOA) will not improve safety, will prove burdensome to both the industry and the FAA, and
is unnecessary given the BFA’s recent initiatives in this arena and its ongoing safety education programs.
Recognizing the continued growth in the balloon ride industry in the USA and around the world, the
Balloon Federation of America has, within the past year, established a new Balloon Ride Operators Division.
This division seeks to represent tour ride operators, large and small. The division’s many goals, already in
development, include recommended safe operating guidelines and improved consumer education. While the
division is still in its formative stages, the initial response from operators has been welcoming and membership
is growing.
The BFA has long held that safety education and training is a constant priority not just for tour ride operators
but also for all balloon pilots and crew. For more than 30 years the BFA has, in conjunction with the sport’s
insurance providers and regional balloon clubs throughout the country, encouraged its members to participate
in annual BFA approved safety seminars as a means of obtaining recurrent safety/education training. To date,
in 2014, some 23 such seminars have been conducted with more than 1,700 balloonists participating. These
seminars also serve to qualify balloon pilots for the FAA’s widely acclaimed WINGS safety program.
In contrast to these efforts, the NTSB’s recommendation will not enhance safety, but will add another layer
of unnecessary federal oversight to an already challenged FAA. Such a regulation would prove burdensome to
the tour flight business owners and their pilots in both time and money to comply with the regulation. It would
likewise stretch the FAA’s already thin resources of inspectors required to initially implement the program and
then oversee its ongoing compliance and enforcement. Additionally such a regulation could require significant
financial expenditure and investment of FAA personnel resources for the education and training of its inspector
ranks, many of whom lack an extensive knowledge base of hot air ballooning and the unique business of
balloon sight-seeing tour flights.
The Balloon Federation of America commends the NTSB for its desire to address and improve the safety of
the sport. However, the accidents cited by the NTSB were the result of human factors and this recommendation
does not address this causal link and therefore will not enhance safety. The BFA, and its Balloon Ride Operators
Division, stands ready to work in partnership with the NTSB and the FAA to develop and implement qualitative
programs that will achieve enhanced safety for balloon pilots, crew, and the flying public without adding
unnecessary and burdensome regulation.
The Balloon Federation of America is the national aero club for hot air and gas balloonists throughout the
USA and is a member organization of the National Aeronautic Association and the Federation Aeronautique
Internationale.

Requirements Of FAR §61.56
FAR §61.56(a) states that a flight review consists of a minimum of one hour of flight training and one hour of ground training. However, glider pilots may substitute a minimum of three instructional flights in a glider, each of which includes a flight to traffic pattern altitude, in lieu of the one hour of flight training.
The training must include a review of the current general operating and flight rules of FAR Part 91 and a review of those maneuvers and procedures that are necessary for the pilot to demonstrate the safe exercise of the privileges of the pilot certificate. The authorized instructor giving the flight review has the discretion to determine exactly what maneuvers and procedures are included in the flight review.
FAR §61.56© goes on to say that the flight review must have been accomplished within the twenty-four calendar months preceding the month in which a pilot acts as pilot in command in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated. The authorized instructor must also endorse the pilot’s logbook certifying that the pilot has satisfactorily completed the flight review. A pilot’s demonstration of competency in any aircraft satisfies the requirements for all other categories or classes of aircraft for which the pilot is rated.
If a pilot performing a flight review with an authorized instructor is denied a satisfactory endorsement for flight review, the pilot may continue to exercise certificate privileges provided the twenty-four month period has not elapsed since the last flight review. However, if a pilot performs a flight review with an FAA inspector and does not receive a satisfactory endorsement, the pilot would not be able to exercise the certificate privileges until successfully completing a re-examination practical test under 49 USC 44709 (the “709 re-examination” formerly called the “609 re-examination”).
When Is A Flight Review Needed?
Although FAR §61.56© states that “no person” may act as pilot in command unless he or she has completed a flight review within the preceding twenty-four months, implying that any pilot desiring to act as pilot in command must accomplish a flight review, FAR §§61.56(d), (e), (f) and (g) identify several circumstances under which a pilot is either not required to accomplish a flight review or he or she may accomplish the flight review based upon requirements different than those specified in FAR §61.56(a).
Student Pilots. Under FAR §61.56(g), a student pilot is not required to accomplish a flight review provided the student pilot is undergoing training for a certificate and has a current solo flight endorsement as required under FAR §61.87.
Check-Ride/Line-Check Exemption. FAR §61.56(d) states that a flight review is unnecessary if within the preceding twenty-four months a pilot has passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege. This means that a pilot who has passed a check-ride or line-check need not accomplish a flight review for another twenty-four months following the successful completion of that check-ride or line-check.
However, pilots should be aware that if they intend to rely upon a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) initial or add-on check-ride, the various Flight Standards District Offices (FSDO’s) are inconsistent as to whether this examination qualifies as a flight review. If a pilot intends to rely on this type of check-ride for his or her flight review, a call to the governing FSDO would be appropriate to confirm its position on the issue. Alternatively, if a pilot is going to be taking a CFI initial or add-on check-ride, he or she should ask the examiner to conduct the oral and practical test so as to satisfy the flight review requirements as well, and to then endorse the pilot’s logbook accordingly upon completion of the check-ride.
Certified Flight Instructors. Under FAR §61.56(f), if a CFI has satisfactorily completed a renewal of a flight instructor certificate under the provisions in FAR §61.197 within the preceding twenty-four months, the one hour of ground training is not required. However, the one hour of flight training is still required.
FAA Wings Program. If a pilot participates in a FAA-sponsored pilot proficiency award program (the “Wings” program) within the preceding twenty-four months and accomplishes one or more phases of the Wings program, FAR §61.56(e) states that the pilot need not accomplish a flight review. Advisory Circular 61-91H describes the Wings program and sets forth the requirements for completing a particular phase in the program.
In order to qualify, a pilot must attend at least one FAA-sponsored or FAA-sanctioned aviation safety seminar or industry-conducted recurrent training program and the pilot's attendance must be verified in the pilot's logbook or other proficiency record, signed by an FAA Safety Program Manager (SPM), other FAA inspector, or an Aviation Safety Counselor (ASC) involved in conducting the seminar. Additionally, the pilot must receive three hours of flight training as follows: one hour of flight training to include basic airplane control stalls, turns, and other maneuvers directed toward mastery of the airplane; one hour of flight training to include approaches, takeoffs, and landings, including crosswind, soft field, and short field techniques; and one hour of instrument training in an airplane, FAA approved aircraft simulator or training device. -

I was at the Florida Pilots Safety seminar yesterday and John Griffin from the Schantz agency was up and talking about the Average Balloon pilot. It got me wondering about what our averages are across the United States. So I am asking Pilots to please take this poll and then have a look at the results. They may be interesting. All answers are anonymous so please answer honestly.
