Hi All, There is a new series following pilots who go to Indonesia to work for Indonesian airline Susi Air, as they fly and land their planes in some of the most breath-taking, remote and dangerous locations on earth. For pilots facing limited job opportunities, Susi Air offers a lifeline and will t...

Thanks dhardiman,

5 hours seems reasonable enough - is the skills test performed by the instructor/CFI or is it performed by an examiner from the IAA?

Hi Folks, Just a quick question for you. What is required to add a PPL(M) rating on to a current PPL(A) rating? Would it just require a small number of hours in a fixed wing Microlight, for familiarisation purposes, or would it be something more? Also, I would take it that, in the final 12 months of...

Hi All, There is a programme tonight on Channel 4 @ 21.00 - Mayday: A passenger who Landed a Plane. Its about a passenger (pensioner)who landed a Cessna despite never having flown before when the pilot became suddenly ill and died during the flight. Enjoy. Mixturerich. PS: Mark, could I suggest a &q...

Hi All,

I noticed an advert in this month's issue of Flying In Ireland magazine just giving an email address of Rathvillyflying@gmail.com. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this club? Does anyone know a contact number or website address?

Thanks.

Hi all.

Do Executive Helicopters still operate out of Galway Airport?
Are they still carrying PPL(H) training on the R22's?

Hi folks, I have a query about com radios in aircraft that can be set to two decimal places. For example, you can set a frequency like 123.45. But if you are advised to go to frequency 131.125, can this be achieved using a radio that has only frequency ability to 2 decimal places? Thanks, Mixturerich.

Yep,

Using EI-CRU - Cessna 152. Pretty good promo video on below link - filmed in Sligo Airport.

Hi Folks, I am considering buying a GPS unit and was leaning towards the Garmin Aera 500. However, I came across an article lately about the Skydemon Mobile GPS and it seems like a very good unit (same price bracket as the Aera 500). I was wondering if anyone on the forum had any experience of the S...

No problem Mark, take your time.

Looking forward to the March edition of FII.

Hi Mark,

Sorry, still not working for me for some reason - but I can access it the old way (logging off and logging on again).

Hi Folks, I received a letter from IAA last Monday advising me, as a National PPL(A) holder, to convert to EASA license. The letter included the following: "JAR licences issued before 8th April 2012, that are fully compliant with JAR-FCL, will automatically become EASA licences on 8th April 201...
