      What level of subscription do people have? My gold is up for renewal but I’m thinking silver is enough for way less money

      RCH340 a C5 Galaxy taking a quite large eastbound detour around Ireland also initiated it just on entry to Irish controlled airspace

      Must not have had diplomatic clearance. USAF C-5s and C-17s are a relatuely rare sight over Ireland these days in any case.

      I'd say they knew but had to keep to filed oceanic track and then re-route once they left oceanic airspace (which operates under procedural rules and outside radar coverage.

      Hey, aviation noob here.

      They’re not allowed in the territorial airspace (within 12nm of the coast) without diplomatic clearance. Controlled airspace beyond the 12nm from a country is delegated by ICAO and is actually international airspace, so they’re perfectly entitled to be in that airspace regardless.

      What often happens is they flight plan further north into Scottish but get a re-route south by Gander or Shanwick into Shannon which doesn’t ideally suit them. It’s always THEM that tell US (or Shanwick) they can’t enter the territorial airspace and need a re-route, as sometimes they have the clearance and sometimes they don’t.

      Looks like all the recreation pilots are out and about for the first time in a long time in England. Southern skies are full of them!

      It was posted about 10 posts back, it's doing survey work, the absence of a lot of commercial traffic is making it easier to facilitate access to controlled air space that would normally be much more restricted. A lot of flights over Ireland and the UK being performed at the moment.

      Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

      I’d assume there’s some sort of gyro stabilisation on the camera, though who knows what the limits of that are.

      If its a dedicated Digital camera or LIDAR scanner then it will be gyro stabilised. Having flown survey for an Irish company in the past, our limits where plus/minus 5 degrees in pitch and roll. I can't recall the speed limitation but it was based on ground speed. Camera system could cope with up to 20 degree drift in a crosswind situation.

      Sorties were flown at 8000 feet (FL080) if the weather was good enough. At 3000 feet if not but the amount of lines flown was usually trebled.

      Survey flight taking advantage of the good weather.
