GASCI hold regular events on safety - among the topics was flying in Winter - here's Gerry Humphrey's presentation that gets us ready for snow and ice. Ironically, we are publishing this on the warmest Sunday in October 2023. The General Aviation Safety Council of Ireland is a volunteer body composed of representatives from General Aviation in Ireland set up in 2012. They meet regularly, aiming to promote General Aviation Safety in Ireland.   A large part of the GASCI function is to promote safety awareness among all those involved in the Irish GA community. This goal includes pilots and ground handlers at FBOs, aircraft engineers, Air Traffic Controllers, airfield operators, and government regulators.
