As there are various articles covering this topic, I thought it would be good to get a discussion going regarding the operation of UK G Reg aircraft in Ireland post 31 Dec 2022 and what that might mean for pilots and owners based here with EASA Licenses. It looks like the current position is that th...

Hi Mark The BIR will be a great rating for GA. I see on the IAA website that the application form for the BIR Exams appear to only list 3 exams each covering multiple topics. Would be great if that turns out to be the case. Hopefully the BIR course will be available through one of the local ATOs soo...

I'm trying to locate a checklist for a ROBIN DR400-120. There are plenty available in French and to avoid having to translate the checklist, I'm throwing it out there to see if anyone within our GA community has a checklist for this specific aircraft or could tell me where I could find one. Pooleys ...

Just wondering if anyone has imported and registered an aircraft, on the IAA register, either group A or Microlight since Brexit and if they had to pay VAT etc. Would be good to hear from anyone who has been through the process recently and to hear the pros & cons.

Hi Stephen I'm sure Mark will be along soon to answer your specific queries, but I'd like to provide an independent opinion regarding Fun Fly. I've been flying in Ireland for many years, from different airfields, and last year I had the pleasure of joining Fun Fly. The lads in Fun Fly are some of th...

Do a class 1 medical before you spend a cent on commercial training.

Hi guys,

Thanks for this. The Inspectors Report from An Bord Pleanála is quite clear alright.

Cheers

Ah well we'll probably be safe enough for a while as you will only be flying up to 50ft, just make sure you don't go out on a windy day, you might go to 100ft and wet your pants. So what's your real story? Why so pissed at the IAA? Or is it all authority you have a problem with, did you get beat up ...

Would you ever give it a rest, you lost all respect when you started talking sh1te about flying around a field teaching yourself, get a life. There is something to deal with jokers like you, it's called Microsoft Flight Simulator, go buy it. This forum is for real pilots, who get real training, have...

Hey lads, this entire thread is for sure a piss take. Who in their right mind would even consider trying to teach themselves how to fly???? I love the part where they say; 'The field I’m going to use is huge big and I will be able to fly very low so as to keep out of trouble. I also intend flying ve...

Hi MikeyP I did most of my training with NFC in Weston many years ago but couldn't get the weather to do the cross X, so on advice I was told to do a completion with these guys. I got everything completed in about 2 weeks. got the cross X done within 3 days of getting there and went on to do the nig...

Hi MikeyP I would'nt advise getting a loan for a PPL. You'd be better to save up a few quid and do a completion in the US. If you're doing 2-3 lessons a month you must be spending the best part of €500 a month. Personally I would stop taking lessons here and the money you'd save up over a few months...

Hi Stovepipe Thanks for that. Your right on the neighbour issues. I intend to talk to anyone that might be on the approach etc. I intend to make sure that relationships are keep good. I want to use the strip for a 3 axis microlight, possibly a Ikirus C42, Eurofox or similar. Something that will oper...

No your safe enough!! Not for our plane. New strip is for the Microlight. Whichever one I buy. Possibly an Ikirus C42.
