What? Blue Max is gone? Was going to head there for lunch!

Thats a shame ,woder what they'll do with it now? As for the local residents , what did they expect buying a house beside an airfield. its been there since 1934. The biggest are objectors are Weston park, which is a relatively new estate.

The old restaurant has reopened serving soup & sandwiches type of fare.
Spoke to the manager who hopes to have the full restaurant up and running soon.

About 1/10th of the runway and the associated stopway is in Kildare. The rest and the terminal buildings are in Dublin.

Been Flying Trim Flying CLub's EI-DDC from weston recently, trying to get solo again.
I was a little bewildered by the displaced threshold, I was asked politely to execute a base turn and finals, it was a bit of a journey back in to land, such a waste of tarmac!
To be fair I was nearly in Sallins when he called.

Is there any sign of this getting permission to be used? Is it a planning issue or noise abatement alone that has it this way? Surely at the western end of the runway there is less noise issues?

I think the point your missing is that prior to the new building been built north of the runway , the original side on the Celbridge road that the schools originally were located in actually lies with in feet of the border between Dublin and Kildare it actually nearly cuts through the bravo taxiway in Weston . But the new buildings on the north side of the runway are in Dublin.

Yeh i understand that, Just weird why the NFC address is still leixlip Co Kildare even though there located in the main terminal

And being A Dub myself I'll be pickie back at ya!

check out Weston's own website:- http://www.westonairport.com/

To my knowledge a substantial part of the airfield is in County Dublin and us Dubs always considered Weston to be ours!

I seen that already just wondering why all the flight schools located in the terminal all have addresses as leixlip co kildare

I think it's because the flight schools were originally located in offices located on the far side of the airfield. (Just inside the Kildare border)

Then when the new terminal was built they moved across to "Dublin" side.

The dublin, kildare boarder runs basically thru the mid section of the field

I was out in Weston yesterday and noticed a new flying school up and running. They where using a C150 G-BAEV looked in great condition. Their called Skyways Aviation. They seem to offer lots of courses. Good to see Weston getting some more business, here's the website

That Cessna was up for sale a while ago. Absolutely stunning and well kept C150 that was always privately owned.

I didn't know they were in weston. Looking at their website they seem to offer quite a lot. From PPL to Meir and TR.

logie101

Anybody know how much they charge to rent the 150?
I hope it's a bit cheaper than NFC...

It's not PTC if that's what you are getting at, they have a new place in Waterford called Clearsky Pilot Training.

Anybody know if they rent to PPL holders and if so how much? I'm sick of paying €195 for solo on a 152 knowing how much of a profit the school are making

I heard it is €160 an hour (hobbs) solo or dual. So not too bad at all. And it is a nice little Aerobat with the 130hp engine.

G-BAEV was based at Spanish Point for a long time in the hangar.
Nice aircraft.
