I'm new to the board, and my expertise as regards aircraft is fairly limited, but I'd like to get informed views on an idea I've had for a while now. Owing to the success of the National Maritime College in Haulboline, would a similar third level college be viable for the aviation sector in Ireland? That is, have all non - military flight training for both the DF and civilian sector conducted from one college. This facility could be based in Baldonnel and would allow civilians to access commercial flight training easier than the current system, which i'm not pretty sure of, but believe that it is quite difficult. It would also allow a crossover of corporate knowledge between the military and civilian sector and could even facilitate the training of non - AC pilots such as Gardai for the GASU or Naval Service.
I would also suggest expanding the college to include the training of technical staff, such as aircraft techs. and AT controllers?? Also allowing for an exchange in knowledge between the AC and civvies?
Any thoughts on the issue would be greatly appreciated!
