Dear all. Having been a student member with the Raes http://www.aerosociety.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for the past 3 years i can only stress how much it has to offer. Especially for those at the beginning of building a Aviation career. However what has Ireland got...

I know. The IAA fairly take the mick when it comes to exams. The CAA system is much more efficient.

They make less a big deal about them.

Went looking for this in Enniskillen but couldn't find one. Any ideas?

Dear all, In sync with my previous thread i am now coming to an end of my ground school exams. I now am on the lookout for schools in the US in which to complete my in the air training, i cant afford to be waiting weeks on end for Irish weather to make its mind up. Has anyone got any opinions on tra...

Dear All,

Just back from Belfast with a full JAA Class 2 Medical Certificate in my hand.

Another job done at a very reasonable price with an excellent service.

Now to study for Wednesdays exams.

Dear all, 100% noted in Air Law and a reasonable 85% in Met. I was marked incorrectly on the last question on MET, you know the really long one. I also choose gradient wind instead of pressure gradient wind. Aw well still passes. Medical on Saturday will eventually give me a CAA Student Pilot number...

Dear Bloggers, Tomorrow is Exam day 3. Meteorology and Air Law and Operations await. Not as confident in these as i have been in the previous, probably as the material seems far greater. But ive done past papers and hoping that the PPL Perfector will see me through. Also booked in for the Medical @ ...

Dont be a fool and concentrate on an aviation course.

Maths is what you should try to do if you have the required grades.

OR Dentist, Doctor or Vet where you will actually get a job when you finish. Instead of looking in the begging bowl like the rest of us.

Dear all, Good news. I have passed both exams with a grand total of 200%. Human Factors was really quite easy and Aircraft Technical wasn't much harder to be honest. Next in line is Meteorology and Air Law. Im not expecting Ace's from the next two as they are snooze material. Just want to say to any...

Dear friends, Its the day before i sit two more theory PPL exams. Not sure if it is a good idea sitting these on the same day but hopefully ill find out tomorrow. Booked into Eniskillen at 2.30pm hopefully come out with good news. Medical didn't happen this week. Tried booking it for Tuesday past bu...

Dear those who are interested, After two weeks of studying I have booked in next Thursday to sit more of my theory exams. This time I am trying to sit two exams at once; Human Factors and Aircraft Technical with Principles of Flight. I am also getting booked in with an AME in Belfast for my class 2 ...

Just to let ye know i passed her anyway. 95%. 1 incorrect. So thats my first official steps to getting my PPL. Now to arrange my next one. Hoping to get Tech and Human Factors done in two weeks time. And hopefully arrange a medical too. Steve the CFI was excellent, real down to earth and a hundred m...

Just booked in to complete Flight Performance and Planning on Monday at 3pm. Choose Enniskillen in the end. The fact that Eglinton couldn't provide facilities for the RT exam and the fact they seem less "professional" than Eglinton swung the balance. Now to get the head in the books over t...

Is that the way the IAA sit their exams. Well that isnt very helpful at all, think i'll stick to the CAA schools. Have inquired about Eglinton and Enniskillen, Eglinton sounds a little more promising as I have a relation up there so i could stop for tea. Any other Schools you's would recommend, don'...

Dear all, This summer i have decided to bite the bullet and sit my PPL exams. I havent flew in over a year but I have been revising, although constantly putting off actually going to sit and do the exam. Probably since I was based in Liverpool due to University and didn't quite hit it off with the F...
