Excellent event ,very well organised ,excellent marshalling ,great spot highly recommended and congrats to that man on his promotion!

Good old Ormond Beach (now known as EASA). They have probably thee most checkered history off any flying school on the internet. Many many disatified as well as satisfied customers. I have flown there and as a School they are not the best by a long shot,you need to be lucky and get a good instructor...

As it says on the title please read page 3 of the support erinagh thread. If anyone or if anyone you know has landed or taken off or even just made the approach, or has a log book entry for this airfield prior to 2004 please forward it to Tim Hanly email timhanly@hotmail.com Even if its a guy or gir...

Hi Pilot, First im afraid im not much use to you as i have mine sorted elsewhere. Having said that its a little rich that a) they havent it sorted by now b)that they want you to do a course in english! The only upside is they probably wont want more than a hundred euro off you for the pleasure :shoc...

As a fully paid up member of AOPA USA i feel no inclination to join AOPA Ireland even if it is free or otherwise. I would love to support an irish aopa but nothing i have seen or heard instills the slightest bit of confidence. In particular, the contributions here by Jim+kitty aopa leave me highly s...

Apparently Aopa ireland is aware of it and on the case. Their effectiveness is about to be put the test-a first major test. I guess we shall see............................ It is indeed an amazing day to see Tipp CC go all the way to the high court, and a very dangerous precendent IF they win as onl...

I hope Aopa ireland are all over this. Now it is time to see what they are made of. If this was the states Aopa USA would have a finely tuned,highly effective response aimed at the decision makers and PR aimed at the local press- I hope the same happens here.

Best of luck to erinagh and all the guys and girls there. Great spot and as hum said its a pleasure to visit a really well run friendly and safe airfield. As the IAA have fully licenced this airfield as being safe etc on what grounds are the objectors objecting? I will have a busy day on monday maki...

In case anyone who is interested hasnt spotted it, the IAA are recruiting student controllers.

Interesting! at 30 quid its one hell of an expensive app but also one really cheap backup GPS. What the default Irish maps like or do you need to pay extra for the ICAO ones to really use it?

And overall is it any good - worth it or not??

Thanks

That made my day! To think that when most of europe was grounded there was a father and son from Ireland happily flying and right beside the frozen yoghurt volcano too!

Great to see, great trip, great plane, seriously envious .

Hi I dont have the F5 but i do have the corresponding version which i bought 2008-ish before the original Uk Flymap went bust or fell out with the copyright owners or some such. Its a good little unit but not great. The good first.....you can get a scanned geo-referenced IAA ICAO map or the same in ...

Good one RV blue made me smile!!!!!!!!!!! Pretty creative stuff

Hey bob, Florida is the obvious choice, but you do have factor in the plane tickets,accomadation,TSA fees , US M1 visa fees and travel to and from the embassy etc etc so make sure you factor all those into your TOTAL costs. Florida is fun but you can get periods of weather that isnt suitable for fly...

Seems like a good idea. Logically there shouldnt be any reason why training couldnt take place from an unlicenced airfield. Common sense would dictate that as long as the aircraft was suited to the runway and its environment, and a qualified instructor was conducting the training then everything wou...
