Become a hot air balloon pilot with our fast efficient training programs. We are one of New Mexico's largest and most respected training facilities. Here in beautiful New Mexico we have pilot training all year round. Our private 10 hour course is $3,500.00 using one of our balloons, or $3,000.00 using your balloon. This course can usually be completed within two weeks. Our 10 hour commercial course is $3,500.00 using one of our balloons, or $3,000.00 in your balloon. These prices include intense flight instruction, books, chase crew, and FREE ON SITE ACCOMMODATIONS TO USE WHILE YOU'RE HERE. This is by no means a crash course or short cut to a license. It is an intense teaching method that developes a students skills much more rapidly, because of the constant daily attention and the location of the training. There are two reasons we can complete our pilot training courses in such a short time. The first reason being the great New Mexico weather, and the second being the area that we teach in. It provides mutiple landing sites (10 to 15 landings per flight) instead of the one or two landing sites the other companies can offer. We have all major bands of balloons in stock for your flight training including Cameron, Lindstrand, Sky, Aerostar and Balloon Works.

We also have ground instruction available where we teach you one on one everything you need to know to pass the written and oral exams. The cost of this instruction is $500.00 for the private aeronautical knowledge school and $500.00 for the commercial aeronautical knowledge school.

Gone With The Winds Ballooning of New Mexico always has a large selection of new or used balloons for sale.

NOTICE

To all commercial applicants recent changes in FAA regulations now require all commercial applicants to hold a minimum of a private hot air balloon license. (you can no longer go from student to commercial you must first get your private license).
