Lovely place Letterkenny - took a C172 in there in 2008. I fly out of EGLM (White Waltham) where half the ATZ is technically inside the London TMA and Class A airspace begins above at 2500'. A common practice is to establish an agreed procedure in writing with the respective ATC units - it could be ...

Not wishing to put a damper on things but didn't the team at Kilkenny - Pat Nolan and co - run exactly what you describe each year and known as Kinair. As I remember it, a lack of participation was one of the contributory factors in its demise. I enjoyed those competitions. They were clearly thought...

This is the link to the full show :

Its at 5m20sec into the show until 9m56sec

The strip is Morriscastle Page 118 in Kevin Glynn's VFR flight guide. It's 0.75nm E of Kilmuckridge

Many thanks hugo. I knew it must be somewhere near the wind farm but have never pinpointed it.

Good piece on micro-lighting round Mt Leinster on tonight's 'Nationwide'. Probably be up on RTE Player in the next 24hours.

They mentioned flying over Kilmuckridge on their way to Mt Leinster - anyone know where they were based?

Departing Warrens Field, Gorey http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac177/holyflyer/Kilkenny%20090922/th_DSCF0002.jpg Going Around at Kilkenny - someone landed long and was back tracking! http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac177/holyflyer/Kilkenny%20090922/th_DSCF0004.jpg Finally Number One at Kilken...

May I echo AlphaLaura's sentiments. A highly enjoyable fly-in and BBQ. I was amazed it was all free, not even a landing fee. Couldn't keep my pax away from the homebaked cakes - they were delicious. I joined a very busy circuit, ended up going round as the chap before landed long and had to back tra...

Mark re your article - be aware that the Flyer crowd are very pedantic regarding forms etc so make sure everything is absolutely correct. E.g. The "General Aviation Report" to be used should be the one marked GAR MAY09 V3.1 in the bottom right hand corner. Use of AFPEX is pretty much oblig...

Yep I'd like to know too - have the plane booked - what time does it kick off? Weather also looking good.

Whisky Tango - some of the american sales sites are very tempting at the moment given the exchange rates. There is also considerable scope for negotiation and discounting (US, UK & EU). Be aware though that the shipping, re-registration etc from the US can add considerably to the cost. For compa...

Mark - I'm Also happy to do so. Hoping t get to Kilkenny this from EGLM if their fly-in is still on and the weather holds.

Very good idea and I dare say it will be fine tuned. I doubt Monamolin/ Cullentra is active. I popped by there last summer and the grass was up to my waist. There are also deep ruts across the former runway about 100m from the eastern end. I'm over in Wexford in a couple of weeks and might go and ha...

There is a small box in the latest Flying in Ireland about the new GAR Form. The amendments are fairly cosmetic because this is stage 1 of an integrated on-line submission tool. UK Borders have invested in a dedicated Adobe server so that later this year or early 2010 you will be able to fill the fo...

Back near the beginning of May I transited Haverfordwest en route to Ireland. On booking in at the tower there were 4 UK Border agency staff awaiting an Irish arrival. One was very senior and we had a good chat about the new GAR. Apparently the pdf is stage one of implementing an online form with dr...

Popped into Newcastle this afternoon. What a lovely place. I'd seen it from the train on many occasions, but today I got the chance to fly in whilst taking m uncle for a jolly. Although John warned me the runway was soft in places, it was no different from winter at White Waltham. A fabulous job has...
