Re: SEP revalidation at Coonagh
My understanding is that those CFI's who can do the sign off must be approved by the IAA for the purpose. The SEP revalidation is signed by an "Examiner / Authorised Official".

Re: SEP revalidation at Coonagh
Obviously as Limerick Flying Club is an RTF, our CFI Brendan Beegan is so authorised and does the sign-off for members of the club all the time having done the one hour instructor flight with either himself or one of the club's other instructors. You will need to discuss with him the technicalities ...

Re: Brilliant Birr!
On behalf of all the crews at Coonagh who made trip over the day, many thanks. Another good Birr outing. Glad we all got the weather today - especially after the last few Birr events.

Re: Medical
Hi C152 I am Type 2 unmedicated for the last seven years. About six to eight weeks before my flight medical I go to my GP and get full blood work-up - everything!! Then I bring reports to AME. She submits them to IAA as part of medical report. It saves time because AME would otherwise likely do the ...

Re: FAA in Ireland
There are many pilots flying here on FAA only licences. The big issue is your medical. Last time it was debated on this forum, the distinction was made between Class Two and Class Three medicals. JAA PPL requires a Class Two medical. It has been suggested that if you only have a Class Three medical ...

Re: Trouble in Birr.....
Birr is operational but the club is unattended other than at weekends. In fact most of the club activity takes place on Sunday. Try 087-2379234. That is the number used by the committee for text messages to the membership.

Re: FAA 'Based on' airmen certificates
As it happens I am going through the whole rigmarole at the moment to have the FAA licence updated to have English Language Competancy added. If one has to do it to have your ability to speak English added, I assume it will follow for a change in the number which is probably even more important. I k...

Re: First Solo by Harry Humphreys
As it happens I heard most of the interview in the car at lunchtime.
A great interview guys and wonderful publicity for GA. Gerry and indeed Harry made it sound so attractive and so accessible. This is the sort of good PR that GA cannot buy.

First Solo by Harry Humphreys
Congratualions to Harry (Flying Cow Productions) who went solo at Coonagh today just 2 days after his 16th Birthday. Dad (Hum) sent him solo on one of the Tecnams this afternoon. Needless to say you would be hard pushed to remove the smile from both of their faces.
Well done Harry

Re: Changing from PPL(a) to PPL(m)
Hi all I went through this process at Birr some eighteen months ago. I hold PPL A and have reasonably decent level of hours and experience. I spoke to Kevin Glynn and Joe Davy about getting the M added to my licence. The five hours is recommened though does not seem to be cast in stone. I did just o...

Re: Nationwide RTE 1 - Monday Jan 4th
Welcome to Forum Skylady A pity about your tongue in cheek first post. I was a pilot taking part in that event. We had a stiff crosswind of some 12/14kts about 50 degress off from the right. So the Cessnas landing technique (right wheel touched first) was in fact perfect cross wind technique. Look a...

Hi Scraggane Lucky you. Though I'd say you will be keeping the Irish accent a bit muted after todays Rugby success over SA. Coonagh is safe and fully operational notwitstanding there is a lot of water on the airfield near the runways. There is new flood barrier in place which is protecting the Coona...

Fado Fado in a previous life (in the seventies and early eighties.) It was the runway of choice for light aircraft - land long on 14 (as it was back then) and you had a short taxi to light aircraft park. Again at that time we used to fly from Coonagh to Shannon for fuel and land straight in on the o...
