Re: Aircraft Ownership
As a sole owner of a vintage two-seater on a permit, I can say Mark has hit the nail on the head on all counts. Group ownership of a permit is the way to go; assuming you're with the right group and right aircraft for you.

Re: Paper or Digital VFR Charts
Jon, not only are the colours wrong, the data was wrong in some cases too. But my biggest complaint is the disgraceful design. When you see how much perfectly readable data the OSI can put in their 1:250 000 there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to get a beautiful chart with our comparatively ...

Re: Paper or Digital VFR Charts
Help us, that current Irish Chart is horrendous. Should nearly be outsourced to the CAA who produce lovely charts lol That said, I use the chart and SkyDemon in a traditional way. I plot a route from waypoint to waypoint which I also draw out on the chart with a printed plog from SkyDemon. I could g...

Re: tail-wheel rating
Navan would be a good spot as they have a lot of tailwheel experience there. As for 737 circuits and bumps, you could always support the gang in Atlantic Airventure !! Lovely bunch of people down there doing great working inspiring the next generations http://atlanticairventure.com/courses/b737-800n...

Re: 8.33kHz Radios
I wonder if that funding will be available to self installers or will it have to be done by approved installlers? In any case It's certainly going to eat into the training budget 
The FUNKE is a neat looking unit. Is it tied to an existing intercom or are you using its own on-board

Re: 8.33kHz Radios
Right now I have no immediate plan to upgrade but I've and Icom A200 so I'dprobably look at something similarly low profile like the Trig 96 or the ICOM A220.
The whole thing seems a bit odd though. Interestingly the US don't seem to feel the need to implement 8.33.

Re: Helicopter forced to make emergency landing
Was wondering if that was why it was taking so long for the AAIU report to be published.

RIP Denny Fitch...Sioux City Flight 232 Throttle Man
Sad to hear of his passing. In case you don't remember the name; Denny Fitch was the the off-duty United Airlines DC-10 instructor who worked the throttles in the crash landing of Flight 232 at Sioux City in 1989

Re: Staff sit-in at Galway Airport
This will be a shame if it's lost. Airports don't seem to come back once they're closed.
At the same time, here's hoping that the employee who've been made unemployed are looked after properly.

Re: Brian Douglas RIP
Aww, no. It's always sad, the passing of a gentleman, but how harsh it is when it's one so young. I was hangared beside Brian Douglas for a while in Trevet. Even when busy with tending carefully to the Condor, he was always generous with his time and advice. His easy and calm disposition perfectly m...
