### Hot Air Balloon Near Miss & Close Call Report

When you're operating hot air balloons commercially, documenting near misses and close calls isn't just good practice—it's essential for maintaining FAA compliance and keeping your crew and passengers safe. This Hot Air Balloon Near Miss Report template gives balloon operators, pilots, and ground crew a structured way to capture critical safety incidents before they become accidents.

#### Built for hot air balloon safety and FAA compliance

This template covers the unique safety considerations of hot air ballooning: landing incidents, propane system malfunctions, weather-related close calls, airspace violations, envelope or basket issues, and passenger-related incidents. Whether you're running a commercial balloon operation, managing a flight school, or coordinating events and festivals, this form helps you maintain detailed incident records that meet FAA reporting standards.

The form captures everything from basic flight information and environmental conditions to detailed incident descriptions, contributing factors, and corrective actions taken. You can document near misses involving power lines, terrain obstacles, other aircraft, propane leaks, burner malfunctions, or unexpected weather changes—all the scenarios that demand immediate documentation and follow-up.

#### Streamline safety workflows with Paperform and Stepper

With Paperform, you can customize this template to match your operation's safety protocols, add conditional logic to show relevant follow-up questions based on incident type, and automatically route submissions to your safety officer, chief pilot, or maintenance team.

You can even set up automatic FAA notification workflows for incidents that meet specific reporting thresholds.

This template is designed for commercial balloon operators, aviation safety managers, balloon ride companies, festival coordinators, and flight schools that need to maintain rigorous safety documentation while keeping the reporting process fast and accessible for pilots and crew members in the field.
