Its a Cessna 177B Cardinal : EI-POD

500 tickets at 100 euro each. Draw on 17th March 2009

I fly out of White Waltham (just west of Heathrow) but am currently visiting the folks in Gorey, Co. Wexford. I flew into Letterkenny this summer in the C172 I have a share in to visit friends in Cresslough. Routed White Waltham - Caernarvon - Enniskillen (duty free fuel!) - Letterkenny.

Many thanks hugoj - had always wondered its exact location and what was based there. Much appreciated.

Happy Christmas from the 'sunny' south east

Castlebridge disappeared before I got my license. Just wondered if any one knew its exact location - lat/long etc. Any pictures of the airfield, based aircraft etc.

I have an ICAO flight plan form in Word.doc format that Shannon, Heathrow etc have always accepted. I think I got it a couple of years ago from a Canadian Site. It is a fuller version than ours with a box for SAR, Pilot License Number etc. which you can ignore if you want. Also means you can keep / ...

Just studying the new 2008 Jepp Charts and comparing them to the 2007. Good to see EIER, EITT and EIMH all added. EILT still not on though. Are there others missing?

Warrens Field is near Gorey (i.e. about 20 miles drive north of Wexford Town). SAAC is probably closer and easier in flying terms and making arrangements. There is also a strip near Enniscorthy see Kevin Glynn. Note Monamolin appears closed - at least at Easter the grass was knee high when I popped ...

Just seen tonights RTE 9pm news - very worrying report on the threatened closure of no less than FIVE flying schools. The aiport owners want to "relocate" the schools.

Mark - My deepest sympathies to you and the family. Please be assured of my continued prayers. I shall offer Mass this evening. May he rest in peace.

I've been visiting friends in the wonderful county of Donegal and I see from todays edition of "Tirconaill Tribune" that the islanders of Tory Island, Co. Donegal will be laying out on airstrip as one of their projects for 2007. It follows several incidents during the year when islanders w...

Forgot to mention that in preparation for such a flight you would of course check the NOTAMS for the relevant FIRS.

AMMAN is actually an IFR reporting point not marked on the VFR charts. It is however loaded on the various Garmin GPS systems. Its located very close to the town of Ammanford, directly under the centre of the BCN-STU airway. If memory serves me right (no map to hand) its 50nm from STU. Its used as t...

Yep thats the ferry I have a back up booked on. I'll keep an eye open but I think its likely to be a very full service.

I was fleeced at Galway with the esteemed owner of this site. Despite two articles in "Flying in Ireland" promises of refunds and emails from myself (all unanswered) not a Euro has been seen. My plans look like being scuppered by the forecast of fog and very low cloud on Friday - could be ...

Usual GA preparations consist of : Watching the weather charts for days in advance, mindful that even if you have an IMC rating its only valid to the FIR boundary and that flight in Ireland must be VFR only. Arrange hire of life jackets etc. Seeking all PPR's that might be necessary from airfields/a...
