    Dear Sir / Madam

     

    I refer to the above-proposed development details, of which were forwarded to the Irish

    Aviation Authority.

     

    It is the observation of the Irish Aviation Authority Aerodrome Department that as per S.I. 355 of 2008, Irish Aviation Authority (Aerodromes and Visual Ground Aids) Order, 2008, this surface level helipad does not require licensing by Irish Aviation Authority Safety Regulation Division, however there is a requirement to comply with Irish Aviation Authority, Safety Regulation Division Aeronautical Notice R.03 – VFR Flights at Night in the Shannon FIR.

     

    Aeronautical Notice R.03, Section 2 specifically applies:

     

    2. Conditions for Night Operations at Aerodromes and other Locations.

     

    (2.1)     Unless an Aerodrome or other Location has been approved for night operations, aircraft,

                rotorcraft, balloons or gliders are prohibited from taking-off or landing at night, except;

     

    (2.1.1)  Where an emergency landing is necessary to ensure safety.

     

    (2.1.2)  The aerodrome or location has been licensed or otherwise prescribed for night

                operation s by the Authority.

     

    In the event of planning consent being granted, the applicant should be conditioned:

     

    1. to engage with the Irish Aviation Authority, Safety Regulation Division prior to the commencement of any works, to ensure that all aeronautical, safety and operational requirements are complied with; and

     

    1. that at no time until a permission is received from the Safety Regulation Division of the Irish Aviation Authority, will it commence operating flights during the hours of darkness.

     

     

     

    Yours sincerely
