There are always different experiences and something new learned from them. Recently I was asked about a particular exemption mentioned in TDG related to hot air balloons, and in doing some additional research I found this topic to be quite interesting and it raised some pretty good questions.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Are Hot Air Balloons Considered Dangerous Goods?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While the balloon itself may not be considered dangerous goods, an important component that helps make it float is. A hot air balloon is made up of 3 main parts:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Envelope:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Made up of a fabric balloon and vents, this holds the air and allows it to float.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:1020,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Burner<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: A tool used which propels the heat up inside the envelope.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:1020,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Basket\u202f(or gondola)<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Where the passengers and pilot stand during the expedition.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:1020,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In order to make the balloon float, dangerous goods come into play in the form of a propane. The propane is stored in a cylinder which is kept in the balloon basket, along with the passengers and the pilot. Basically, the burner uses the propane cylinder to heat up the air in the envelope in order to move the balloon off the ground and into the sky. This propane is highly compressed in the cylinders and flows to the burner in liquid form. Specifically, when the pilot starts the burner up, the propane flows <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">to it and is ignited by a pilot light. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">When liquid propane is heated it turns into a gas, which heats up hotter than the air, flows into the envelope and as a result, the hot air balloon rises into the sky. So now that we know what dangerous goods are involved in this process, what is this exemption in TDG?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:390,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is the TDG Hot Air Balloon Cylinder Exemption?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Transport Canada has an exemption for Propane Cylinders Under UN1978 located at TDG 1.50 if it is for use in a hot air balloon and it is on a road vehicle, railway vehicle, or a ship on a domestic voyage. This exemption provides relief from sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, and 5.10 (1) and (2) located in part 5 of TDG. These sections relieve you from selecting and using a means of containment, the requirements for a standardized means of containment, and means of containments for class 2 gases. Use of this exemption is contingent on below.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">(a)\u202fthe cylinder is for use in a hot air balloon and is marked clearly and visibly, in letters at least 5 mm high, with the words \u201cFOR USE IN HOT AIR BALLOONS ONLY\u201d or \u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">POUR UTILISATION DANS LES BALLONS SEULEMENT<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201d;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>(b)\u202fa flight authority, as defined in subsection 101.01(1) of the \u201cCanadian Aviation Regulations\u201d, has been issued in respect of the hot air balloon;<\/li>\n<li>(c)\u202fthe cylinder is designed, constructed, filled, closed, secured, and maintained so that under normal conditions of transport, including handling, there will be no release of dangerous goods that could endanger public safety.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:150,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In addition, there are a wide variety of requirements of the actual cylinder in the exemption that I suggest you look over to make sure you can utilize it in your specific situation.
