Irish CAA
Looks like I will be moving to Southern Ireland with my job. Are the Irish CAA any different to the Uk CAA in terms of helicopter maintenance fees/costs and do they have a more lenient attitude towards some of the excellent kits that are available in Europe? I'm a private pilot and just flying for fun. Thanks for any info.
They are the IAA (Irish Aviation Authority), not the CAA (we got rid of that crowd around 1922). The IAA don't directly set maintenance fees or costs. As for being 'lenient' they don't turn a blind eye (it that's what you mean). Sorry, but if you ask a 'wishy-washy' question you'll get an corresponding answer.

From my experience the IAA is more supportive when it comes to aviation-they seem to have a "can-do" attitude rather than the rest of the EASA-bunch with their "canīt do" attitude....
Thatīs why they are the IAA-and not a "Committed Against Aviation"-community.

I've been here for a while now and have found the IAA to be much more proactive, supportive and approachable than 'on the mainland'.

In my experience,The Idiots Against Aviation are just as bad or even worse than the Campaign. I think they have more investigators than there are private pilots over there. They have pretty much killed off private flying with their silly rules and relentless procedures. Absolutely nothing like the FAA in my opinion...
When I was training for my PPL, one of my instructors referred to the IAA as the "Institute Against Aviation"! I am not sure how accurate that description has proven to be........
