Why are aircraft categorized into lighter than air vehicles?

The FAA is very specific to categorize lighter than air vehicles as a separate type of aircraft because of the way they handle and perform. Lighter than air vehicles are very slow and difficult to maneuver. Indeed most hot-air balloons have no method at all to control steering or velocity, the pilot only controls the vehicle on the up/down axis. As a result lighter-than-air vehicles must always have the right-of-way over all other types of aircraft. Additionally, pilots of lighter-than-air vehicles must be very cautious not to enter congested airspace without prior permission because of the danger they can pose to other airspace users.

What is the difference between lighter than air and heavier than air vehicles?

Heavier than air vehicles, such as jet airplanes, are heavy and cannot easily float without propulsion. Lighter than air vehicles, such as a glider, are light enough to glide without propulsion Lighter-than-Air vehcicles means that the vehicle gets its Lift from its bouyancy. Regular aircraft get their lift from the wings due to its forward motion through the air. Gliders do not have propulsion but their wings are very long and produce enough lift to keep them flying.
