HEATER
3.3 Heater endurance test:
 (a) the heater system (including the burner unit, controls, fuel lines, fuel cells, regulators, control valves and other related elements) must be substantiated by an endurance test designed to reflect the limiting conditions likely to be encountered in service, both in kind and duration. The endurance test proposed by the manufacturer must be approved by CASA. In performance of the test, each element of the system must be installed and tested so as to simulate the actual balloon installation; and
 (b) the test must also include at least 3 flameouts and restarts; and
 (c) each element of the system must be serviceable at the end of the test; and
 (d) the pilot light (or other means of ignition) must be shown to operate reliably in typical gusts and rain, must be readily accessible for relighting and must be easily relit.
        Note 1: Appendix I to this section describes an acceptable means of demonstrating compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.
SYSTEMS
3.4 Instruments:
The balloon shall be provided with the following instruments installed in such a manner that they are clearly legible by the crew:
 (a) all balloons:
 (i) sensitive altimeter with barometric scale calibrated in millibars in increments of not more than 2 millibars; and
 (ii) vertical speed indicator;
 (b) hot air balloons:
 (i) fuel quantity gauge or other means (such as isolated tanks which can be used in sequence) which enable the pilot to know the quantity of fuel remaining. The gauge or gauges must be calibrated in appropriate units or in percent of fuel cell capacity over a range from empty to at least 30% of capacity; and
 (ii) envelope temperature indicator which may be of the continuous reading type or a type which gives a warning signal; and
 (iii) outside air temperature thermometer.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
3.5 Basket:
3.5.1 The basket shall be provided with a sufficient number of hand-holds to provide at least 1 for each occupant. The hand-holds shall be so located that the risk of injury to the occupants using them is minimised.
3.5.2 The basket must be provided with drain holes which minimise the risk of accumulation of fuel within the basket.
Note: The basket and equipment carried
