Hi All,
has the new 1/500,00 Ireland map been issued yet?

[OW wright]

phoned the IAA the other day and asked them that exact question .

i was told they don't know when it's going to be available.

Bugger!

There is always the apocryphal version full of Anglo-Saxon promise and always updated to ARAC edicts

Irish version cannot be expected until airspace pronounced safe from current Seismic and Tsunami activity

hello all,

latest news on the 1; 500 000 Irish Chart is that it will be available soon.

how soon is 'soon' ,hopefully not too long.

i phoned the iaa in february 2006 enquiring about the current map and they told me they will post me some maps because the new one will be out soon, (11 months ago) so i got a laminated and non laminated one from the iaa for FREE, i thought i would be scr**** up the wall for a map.

Just received news from the IAA today:

"we hope to have the new 1.500,000 charts in approximately 6 weeks we will also have a cheat 1.250,000 chart also."

"we hope to have the new 1.500,000 charts in approximately 6 weeks we will also have a cheat 1.250,000 chart also."

Do you know is the 1 : 250 000 chart will only cover the Dublin CTR/CTA and surrounding airspace at Bal and Weston or is there plans to have two 1 : 250 000 charts covering the northern and southern part's of Ireland ?

A 1 : 250 000 chart of the dublin / North Leinster area is badly needed given the ammount and different types of airspace.

Hi OW Wright.

I dont know the answer to your question.
The person who probably would is: Edel.Garrihy@iaa.ie

cheers.

[OW wright]

hello Ceatach,

Thank's for the reply. It's been over four year's since the last chart was released and a lot of changes have been made since then. I might just send an email to find out the details, if i get a reply i'll post it here.

O.W.

[ceatach]

Ok great stuff. It makes sense to do it that way instead of having lots of people emailing asking the same questions...

She may take a few days to get back to you. talk soon.

[helihover]

Any news on new mapping anybody ?

[OW wright]

hello Hellihover,

i sent an email to Edel.Garrihy@iaa.ie and she tells me that she hoped to have them by the end of March ,early April. she did say she would follow it up and get back to me if she hears anything.

regards

O.W.

I was in the IAA last week, they are out of the old ones and said the same about the date, when I said its been a while since it was updated the Girl I spoke to said they mentioned releasing the new one last March too!

Best not get our hopes up...
