Night heliports in Irish Airspace
Is anyone one else experiencing deep frustration in acquiring approval for operating to/from a temporary heliport at night within Class C Irish Airspace. I am informed that new procedures will be issued (when?) which will, amongst other things, require the helicopter pilot to have a procedural rating, the site be fully lit, have a GPI, and (this is the crippler) have planning permission as the landing area is regarded as 'change of use'. Is the IAA hell-bent on ensuring that no night flights by helicopters takes place in Irish airspace?
