What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Clonbullogue Aerodrome (EICL) primarily serves as the home base for the Irish Parachute Club, and traveler sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, particularly among skydivers. Visitors consistently highlight the professional and friendly atmosphere, along with well-maintained facilities geared towards the skydiving community.

What Travelers Love

Exceptional Skydiving Experience: Skydivers frequently praise the friendly and professional instructors and staff, leading to a highly enjoyable and safe experience for both first-timers and experienced jumpers.
Dedicated Skydiver Facilities: The aerodrome offers excellent amenities for skydivers, including a Club House Café, carpeted packing areas (Hanger 1), and clean showers and restrooms.
Accommodation Options: Camping facilities for tents and camper vans are available on-site, with local B&Bs also listed for accommodation.
Good Aircraft and Operations: The Irish Parachute Club operates two jump aircraft, a Cessna 182 and a PAC P-750 XSTOL, capable of taking up to 4 and 15 skydivers respectively.
One of Europe's Largest Grass Runways: The airfield boasts a 770 by 18-meter grass runway, suitable for its operations.
Indoor Viewing Area: An indoor viewing area is available for the public, especially useful during colder weather.

Common Complaints

Limited "Airport" Amenities: As a private airfield focused on skydiving, it lacks typical commercial airport features like extensive terminal facilities, security checkpoints, or customs/immigration services. Customs is explicitly noted as "No" at this airfield.
Flying Restrictions due to Parachuting: Pilots of other aircraft should be aware of intensive parachuting activity, particularly on weekends and public holidays, which can lead to flying restrictions.
Local Airspace and Terrain Considerations: There are "no fly areas" around Edenderry below 2000 ft QNH, and trees penetrate the approach and transitional surfaces for runway 09, requiring pilot awareness.
No Direct METAR Data: The aerodrome does not publish its own METAR weather data; the nearest weather station is Casement Air Base, 45 km away.

Clonbullogue Aerodrome offers a highly regarded and well-equipped environment for skydiving and general aviation, particularly for those engaged with the Irish Parachute Club. While it may not offer the typical conveniences of a larger commercial airport, its specialized facilities and positive community sentiment make it an excellent destination for its intended purpose.
