Anyone know how high you can fly a helium balloon (6 ft cube) tied down before you need to notify the FAA ? It's only going to be up for less than half hour !! If that matters. Or where I could find out this information. Many thanks, Back to top Jim Logajan Guest Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 5:25 am    Post subject: Re: Hellium Balloon flying reg's.

It's only going to be up for less than half hour !! If that matters. Or where I could find out this information. The regulations on moored balloons is in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 101 MOORED BALLOONS, KITES, UNMANNED ROCKETS AND UNMANNED FREE BALLOONS Specifically in subpart B. Here's a link (that I hope works) to the relevant section: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=56966b596304b6c6f0f4eff9c67564c6&rgn=div5&view=text&node=14:2.0.1.3.15&idno=14 Otherwise go here: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?&c=ecfr&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title14/14tab_02.tpl and follow the link for "60-139". Or backing further out, Go here: http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/ and follow the "Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR)" link.
