Two Weeks to Private Flyer Event at Weston Airport
There are just two weeks to go to the Private Flyer Ireland Event that takes place at Weston Airport on 1st April. In tandem with this unique aviation event, the Irish Golf Show will also be taking place so there will be lots to see and do.
We have a limited amount of free tickets left exclusively for Flying In Ireland visitors, use discount code PFF669 at this web address to reduce the ticket cost to zero.
Over 40 companies are now confirmed to be displaying, for a full list please see here. This is a unique event for general aviation in Ireland, nothing on this scale has been attempted before. This demonstrates the huge potential of GA in Ireland which has been underdeveloped for years. There will be opportunities to speak with GA organisations such as ILAS and the NMAI who provide the backbone to the airworthiness systems for permit aircraft in Ireland. There will also be an opportunity to speak with GASCI, the General Aviation Safety Council of Ireland, to raise any issues you feel are relevant to GA in Ireland.
There will also be huge representation from overseas brands such as Airbus Corporate Helicopters, Bell Flight, Heli Air and Helix AV representing the rotary side of GA. Representing fixed wing will be Beechcraft, Cessna, Cirrus Aircraft, Diamond, Piper, Pilatus and more. For flight training, you’ll be able to speak to FunFly Aerosports Flying Club and National Flight Centre who will be able to provide flight training advice for pilots considering learning to fly as a pastime or career.
