Hot-Air Ballooning

KNSFHP 1139.18 (1 credit)

Description:

No Experience Required!

The Hot-Air Ballooning course is for the individual with interest in mans first form of flight. We will cover the basics you need to know about the history, design, structure and flight procedure of the modern day balloon. You will learn the procedures and have the exciting opportunity to work on a balloon chase crew.

Students will also be required to crew a minimum 6 times for a hot-air balloon to be completed by the end of 9th week of the quarter. These sessions will be scheduled as weather permits. Please note that crew sessions are restricted by time of day and weather/wind.

  • All class sessions are mandatory. Any student not attending the first class session of a course will be dropped from the class and replaced by others that are on the waiting list and in attendance of the class. Each student is responsible for adding or dropping any courses with their college.
  • All classes require an additional trip / activity fee. All trip / activity fees must be paid in full by the end of second class session or a $10 late fee will be charged.
  • There will be no refund of any trip or activity fees at anytime.
  • Class room session times, locations, dates, trip dates, and fees are subject to change. There will be no refund of deposit or trip fee if this is required. A current OSU e-mail address will be used to contact all students enrolled in a class for notification of any changes.
