Voler secteur Clonbur Leenan Clifden

[Paddy Brittany]

Je passe deux semaines à Clonbur en mai prochain, pêche mouche mais j'emmènerai peut être un planeur. Y a t'il des pentes recommandées dans le triangle Clifden Leenane Clonbur?
merci de votre aide

Salut Paddy,

Achill has a few spots to fly up in Connemara, I think if you have foam models you have plenty of coastal spots to fly.

Tight lines

Thanks Ralph, unfortunately Achill is a tad far I'd rather fly somewhere in Connemara or South Mayo. Would be delighted if I could find a kindred soul to fly with me, there's a club in Headford that I contacted but they do not seem to do gliders. Looking at the IAA legal stuff it seems that if my planes are duly registered in France and I am also registered as an operator I can legally fly in Ireland.
To quote the IAA document:
Cross-border operations/operations outside the State of registration
In accordance with the principle of harmonisation across the EU, the regulations
make provisions for UAS to be flown in other EU Member States with relatively
minimal burden on the UAS operator.
For the ‘Open’ category things are very straightforward and unmanned
aircraft can be operated in exactly the same way as they would be in their
‘parent State’ (i.e. no further contact with the IAA). Obviously, any
airspace restrictions that are applicable in the State where the flight is
being conducted must be complied with. The registration and the remote
pilot competence valid in the parent State are applicable, but details
should be carried at all times and made available to any enforcement
authorities, if requested.

I am enquiring with the French Federation Aeromodelisme regarding applicability of their insurance abroad.
Cheers
Paddy Brittany

Bonjour Paddy,

Malheureusement, je connais pas trop le coin. J'ai volé plus au nord ou plus au sud

Pour l'assurance FFAM, elle fonctionne a l'étranger, par contre, je ne me souviens plus si c'est que sur les terrains/pentes agrées ou partout.
