The single most informative and interesting aviation event i have ever attended was an IHOP meeting where Jurgen Whyte from the AAIU made a presentation to us. I think if you want to have a safety evening try to get him to come along as you will learn more from listening to him in a hour than most p...

Hey

Just looking for options and ways to convert

Tiny, Calm down. The current excise is 27.65 c per litre. This will increase to 50.88 c per lite, an increase of 23.23 c per litre. Add on VAT at 21% (21.5% from Dec 1) this will mean a tax increase on Avgas of about 28c per litre, incl VAT. this represents a 11.2% increase, if fuel currently costi...

So dose this mean that avgas has gone up in price from what ever it is, ie 2.02 + vat before budget 2.77 (?? not sure if it includes vat) From today on 5.09 (?? not sure if it includes vat) From 1st Nov on That would mean in 16 days the price of avgas would have risen by 253% (assuming the priced do...

I got refused by Dublin once, Asked them if i could request from Bal, and Bal approved my route. That was the day of the Bray Air Show when they were flat out. As a guy i know once said, if you sound as if you know what you are doing on the radio or they know you / your reg, you wont have a problem....

I must say over that past months i have found GA flying particularly fun.... In the past weeks i have been in Donegal where i was met with a smile and even though i probably wrecked the lads heads (i was flying in and out of a friends house 2nm from the field numerous times over the weekend), they a...

Why dose anyone in Ireland with a Helicopter get riped off when they try to attend an event like this?? Executive Helicopters were charging €200 a landing yesterday which i know put alot of GA heli pilots and owners off going down. At the end of the day no one minds paying a fair price for a service...

Hey
Anyone know if there is a TRA around the Ploughing this year?? If so how big is it??

Thanks

Bose X all the way

They are by far the most comfortable and lightest headset i have ever worn.

When i started training i used standard DC's and the headaches i got from the Heli's was mad. I then splashed out and got a new Bose X and have never looked back.......

The Irish Sea was akin to the red sea, with a certain "Joxer goes to ....." feel to the GA proceedings in South Wales. Two of us tipped into EGFH out of our C180 in Munster jerseys to be greeted by SB. Great to be there for such a cracking game - the juice was worth the squeeze. J3 Hey I ...

Mine did... n if u have the budget do what i did & invest in a BOSE...........

Well worth every cent....

Anyone know of a landing site in Little Island, Cork.
Its just to get a R44 into and stay there for a few hours this week.

Thanks

Just checking, but if you get ramp checked by the IAA & have either the old 2002 IAA charts or the 2007 Jep Charts, It that an infringement?? or do the charts not go out of date??

Thanks
