Hello,

I fly out of City of Derry, the club is called Eglinton Fying Club and all GA pilots are more than welcome!!. The skies are'nt exactly full of aircraft around here so the airport itself is quiet to say the least. There are pretty much no restrictions either just watch out for the gliders operating about 8nm from the field.....and steer clear of a military base on the approach to 26, that runway has the same extended centerline as CofD and you dont want to land there!! I dont belive you have to contact Special branch before setting of,, but dont quote me on that!. Flying to donegal,, best bet would be carrickfinn on the extreme west coast, beautiful place! although i think there is a grass field around Letterkenny but im not sure if this is private.....careful the approach to 26 (over the lough) is prone to windshear....Oh! and it rains allot
