General conversions are obviously required if you havent flown a craft and been rated on it. As far as NFC goes, I think once you have your license, logbook, and your credible (i.e. you haven't gotten a micky mouse PPL from some far strewn country, you'll be fine). Think C150/2's are in around 140e ...

m If anyone is interested, that is the transcript from the day the issue for Tory was first brought up. Typical, supported by Seanad Eireann, the highest jurisdiction in the land, not allowed by the budget, meaning the islanders can't even fund the project, because their money in taxation ends up go...

Alcock & Brown Clifden Intl??? or is it somewhere else?

I doubt it, too close to Connemara if it is the place I'm thinking of...

Here Here Cosmic,
I agree entirely, it is better to be friends with them than enemies, plus the view is great from the control tower!

Regards,

Funny you should mention it, a few mates and myself were contimplating getting the cash together to get one up and running there a while back now, fair play to the people of the island, and I will certainly be a flyer to the field, beach or mountain slope strip!

Hmm, Interesting points on SMS, the glorious language of the Nokia people! Weston has always had a bit of a "tangy punch" in it's ATC from time to time (that is a little quote from a fellow pilot of mine!), none the less I have been slagged off during training over ATC about my once very p...

One classic one, aircraft forgetting their callsigns, seems to happen alot, I wonder if they have ever used the aircraft colours to confirm reg's, like with the old RYR Kilkenny Beer logo craft, "flying Ryanair Beer"???? Yea, I always loved the one about the Air Corps pilots, great ice bre...

It actually looks life a beefy defence and utility heli doesnt it!

How about doing a base swap with Weston, the traffic from the airfield would be reduced, and Baldonnel could cater for all transport!

(I forgot about the heritage and cultural thing on this one didnt I)...

Merry Christmas!

I know this is last minute, but the weather seems to have cleared somewhat, if you can get your craft into the country tomorrow (well in the next 22hrs at this time of the night!).

Ha ha, i see a decent into commentary about american war planes...

Would any of these be seen there? http://abbeyshrule.tripod.com/images.htm

Even with flaps, and immediate full throttle; using flight sim (oh the accuracy), nadah, Weston per runway 890m won't do it in anyway safe, nothing operates into Abbeyshrule as such, I Hope...

*Edit* - Ok, maybe it will, not very safely though, and 790m won't!

Ha ha, which suits

Great work as ever Frank, finally some fire power behind the rotary fleet...

Here, here, I would be for getting some of those sparkly RAF display aircraft into the corps I had a recent discussion with some air corps persons and friends and it seems it would be feasible. However, lets not under estimate the power in the PC9's, they, when properly pushed to operating limits, c...
