Flying Post Covid

Psychlops

What are the opinions on private/Pleasure flying after Covid? I assume that all flight clubs are deemed non essential, I wonder how this is kicking them, its terrible to see the skies so quiet with any kind of traffic, in fact I was amazed to see a commercial contrail the other evening, I thought to myself "well thats a rare sight".

Seems to be plenty of activity out of Weston, not sure how that works with level 5 restrictions but people are definitely flying.

Check out flightradar and lots of flights still going on allover Europe. Ireland as with all things Covid is a hysterical outlier. Also lots of freight traffic going on

GE aviation is busy over and around Cork and Waterford airports also so I presume lessons are being given.

Im assuming with Flying Lessons its the same as car lessons? Have they minimised time in the air I wonder? I was doing driving lessons but stopped as soon as lockdown hit, id love to do flying lessons, perhaps some day but I dont think I would feel safe in such a confined space.
