AOPA-Ireland came into existence becauase of a chance exchange of information during the filiming of 'The Blue Max' at Weston in 1965 It won the energetic support of aviation heavyweights such as Pearse Cahill, Tony Doyle, Russell Winn, Denis Greene, Paddy Duggan and John O'Loughlin, Pat Nolan, Deni...

This is certainly the the most huge Licensng event for the Private Sector since ICAO came to Dublin in 1945 to work out their Technical Annexes This licence carries PPL privileges as we know them within EU - and may be used as a PPL elsewhere with local consent No-one should condemn it as Mickey-Mou...

It is top subject in their 'Latest News' on the Homepage. It is a less demanding course than ICAO and is a 2-stage licence (after a portion of your training you can qualify to take a single passenger on flights within 50 km of base) It carries the same privileges as an ICAO licence except that use o...

In the cockpit all you had were Stick, Rudder,Trimmer.fuel cock,throttle,ignition switches,oil pressure gauge,altimeter, airspeed,turn and slip, compass Instructing philosophy was concurrent rather than consecutive - i.e you were shaping up landings fro...

Advent of JAR made no difference either there or here as JAR doesn't require CPL for instructing

Solo day comes when a number of consellations condescend to come together Number of hours instrsuction is not the top priority Hours will be less according as to how your instruction was characyerised by A good training aeroplane : (one which shows up poor or careless flying) A lazy instructor : (on...

The CPL is and always has been a pre-requisite for instructing in USA and UK but not in Ireland If you read ICAO and JAR FCL it is obvious that the CPL requirement arises from some other local regulation - as you won't find it there Obviously the PPL instructor has to have the necessary training, sk...

Where this exists - FAA CAA and probably many others - it is a local arrangement and stands out clearly in their Air Navigation Orders We don't have it in Ireland I think the hang-up is to be found in the attitude taken in the Air Navigation (No.2) Act 1975 This makes all private flights carrying pa...

Hello Buzz Whence comes the ideas that instructor must adorn each P3 entry you make with signature and licence particulars? Personnel Licensing Used to require Instructor give certain progress certifications in Logbook JAA/EASA now require these be made in the SPL itself I believe the counter-certif...
