This site is within Restricted Airspace and it is frequented by many helicopter pilots and training aircraft. Contact and get permission from Cork ATC before Flying. Also contact Cork ATC when finished flying. Experienced pilots only! There is no bottom landing. Do not go Down... slope land anywhere if you have to. This is a very windy site. Sometimes you will get 'Sea-Thermals' here. dont get too high as you will be in restricted airspace.... Cork Airport is nearby
