The aerial operation of ultra-light-structured aircraft in Spain is regulated by Royal Decree 2876/1982, which regulates the registration and use of ultra-light-structured aircraft, in addition to the Order of 24 April 1985 regulating ultra-light flight.

Regulation (EU) 2018/395 defined the activity of commercial passenger balloon flights (CPB) as a form of commercial air balloon transport operation in which passengers are transported for the purpose of tourism or flight experience for remuneration or other financial consideration.

Once the declaration required in BOP.ADD.100 has been submitted, the operator is authorised to conduct commercial operations with balloons in all the States of the European Union.

The Spanish Aviation Safety Agency shall publish and keep up-to-date the list of balloon operators who conduct commercial operations and who have submitted a declaration in Spain.

In duly justified cases and at the request of the operator, a certificate attesting that a declaration for commercial operations with balloons has been submitted to the State Aviation Safety Agency may be issued.

Oh, yeah, yeah. The requirement BOP.ADD.410 states that if more than 19 passengers are transported on the balloon, an additional crew member must be part of the crew.

The acceptable means of compliance AMC1 BOP.ADD.410 sets the initial and recurrent training requirements, as well as recent experience, to be met by the additional crew member.

Both requirements concern the conduct of specialised operations.

The requirement BOP.BAS.190 contains the general information applicable to specialised non-commercial operations and the BOP.ADD.510 contains the general information applicable to specialised commercial operations.

The validity of the proficiency check is 24 months and should be carried out by a pilot holding an in-flight examiner certificate (FE) issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 1178/2011.

Oh, yeah, yeah. In this case the person responsible for conducting the training and verification must be in possession of the in-flight instructor (FI) and flight examiner (FE) certificate.

The experience indicated in the GM1 BOP.ADD.040 is not required by performing the functions of one of the posts defined in BOP.ADD.040, in this case, experience refers to experience in balloon operations.
