46. What should a pilot do if a small hole is seen in the fabric of a balloon during
inflation?

A. Continue the inflation and make a mental note of the location of the hole for later
repair.
B. Instruct a ground crew member to inspect the hole and, if under 5 inches in
length, continue the inflation.
C. Consult the flight manual to determine if the hole is within acceptable damage
limits established for the balloon being flown.
