Hey Torquetalk,


Come on then, what's the link between Helipaddy and missing Irish pilots?

Is that a trick question??? :suspect:

You do know what a Paddy is, right??? ;)

Ah, okay, no. Too clever for me.


It is an app for helping Irish pilots find somewhere to land though... I guess.

Helipaddy app
 

Does anyone have any experience of the usefulness of the 'Helipaddy' app - specifically for hotels, pubs & other non-airfield landing sites?
I am a PPL(H) in southern England looking at where I can fly to this coming summer.
Also, is the app software stable and are there regular site additions & updates?
Although £30 per year is not a lot in helicopter cost terms, it certainly is a lot for a smartphone app. Is it worth it for the average PPL(H)?

It's the best thing available for heli GA,
£30 at a snip...... You won't regret it ...

Updates and features
 

just checked my emails and I count 10 updates so far this year.

Not just new sites but new features too.

Other apps/websites may list landing sites but AFAIK Helipaddy is the only one where all the sites listed have been moderated and contain specific instruction and/or cautions.

Add to that the direct links to the site operator, Google Earth views of the landing sites and user comments on the site, quality of the lunch etc.

The £30 fee for the full functionality may only apply for your first subscription, just add another six sites to Helipaddy and you get the next year FOC.

Highly recommended.

Am I missing something, it seems to mainly show airfields and is a bit clunky, it's not easy to select the site you want without adding another. It's not in the same league as Skydemon.
Are there more landing sites in a hidden add on?
