AC115-2, Revision 1, Adventure Aviation - Hot Air Balloon Operations A new revision of this AC has been published. This is the first time this AC has been revised since the initial issue in 2016. A participant let us know the AC needed to reflect new rules on the use of transponder and altitude reporting equipment to transmit ADS-B data. CAA would like to thank the participant for bringing this to our attention. We have also updated advice on rule 91.513 about controlled airspace, standardised the format, and corrected minor errors. Lastly, we have taken the opportunity to add a version history. We have also made a marked up copy [PDF 226 KB], so changes can be easily checked.
