NOTE: THIS INSPECTION CHECKLIST MUST BE COMPLETED ANNUALLY, OR EVERY 100

HOURS OF FLIGHT and/or TETHER TIME, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.

Qualification: Inspection must be carried out by an inspector who is approved by the relevant national airworthiness authority,
to inspect the particular type of balloon in the category for intended operation.
Documentation: The aircraft logbook must be present for all inspections. The number of flight hours, any repairs or
modifications made since the last inspection, should be correct and up to date. The entries identifying all components of the
aircraft should be checked to verify agreement with components inspected. Upon completion, inspection must be recorded
showing date, total flight time, maximum temperature indicated on recording (tempil) label.
