FlyingInIreland

I got my Class 2 done for about ?130 in Ranelagh.

I presume the PHL-DUB-PHL flight does not route through Shannon then? Because I'd love to get at least 1 trip in a 757!

NOC-EMA, NOC-LPL and possibly NOC-GLA (If you advertise that last one you might actually find people on the flight, something BMI never grasped. )

Must go check and see if we get any twice dailys into Knock again...

MME gone for the winter

I might be going since I am spending the summer in Illinois.

Glad to hear your getting alright John.

you'll have to tell us what took you to LGW as against Biggin etc? We went for the "Experience" of landing in Gatwick, and it was some experience although we were expecting a much lower bill as we were supposed to land in the afternoon. The plane is based at Biggin so naturally we just la...

How about a toasted ham and cheese sandwich from Sligo Airport themselves? I love them!

I plan to do hour building in Chicago, once I talk to the Sligo CFI about it. Its handy having a dad living in the US!

Would Knock have a landline number by any chance?

My uncle is paying for mine, along with a load of other stuff!

I see you have to be a member of the Eurocontrol 6 member states, do they stick rigidly to that?

I have a friend training for Eurocontrol, he sounds happy with them.

My optician told me that there are very low minimum requirements for the vision part of a medical, as I found out when asked to read the top line in my Class 2 med about 2 weeks ago and found I could'nt! (I still passed though ) If your worried about vision ask your optician, they should let you know.
