OFFICIAL PILOT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY

I am aware and agree with the responsibilities legally transferred to me under the Federal Aviation Regulations regarding my personal decision to fly my balloon and realize that any bodily injury and/or personal damage resultant are my liability. I further agree that flights are not mandatory and that I will make all flights at my option, and my decision as Pilot-in-Command may affect my placement in this event should I chose not to fly.

I agree that the organizers and sponsors of this event are providing me with the facilities and means for my participation and in no way do they supercede the responsibilities of the Pilot-in-Command as shown under FARs.

I release the organizer- Turf Valley and its sub contractors from all liability and risk related to the events including only balloon activities performed under this agreement.

I also acknowledge that as a condition of participation in this event, I am an invited guest of the organizers and sponsors and will abide by all the rules and conditions of the event. As it concerns competitive events if any, I agree to accept the decisions of the judges and the event organizers as final.
