NOTE
During the certification process all required safe loads have been successfully
demonstrated. However, the gyroplane may be exposed to higher loads
especially when operated on rough surfaces, such as an unprepared grass
strip. In this case it is even more essential to perform a thorough pre-flight
inspection and have components and parts replaced, where needed.
NOTE
The choice, selection and use of this particular aircraft for the purpose chosen
is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the owner/pilot. RotorSport UK
Ltd and AutoGyro GmbH take no responsibility for your decision to fly.
This aircraft is operated under a certificate of airworthiness. This is an ICAO
recognised standard. Whilst the manufacturer takes great care to ensure the
parts are of appropriate quality, it is impossible to guarantee that a failure
cannot occur, and pilot operators must consider this in their flight planning
The Cavalon Pro utilises a certified Rotax 914F engine. Whilst this has an
improved reliability from a non-certified engine, it is impossible to guarantee
that a failure can never occur. Therefore strict compliance with the engine
manufacturer’s maintenance schedules, operational procedures and any
additional instructions which may be given to you by RotorSport UK Ltd, on
behalf of the engine supplier, is essential. The aircraft must always be flown
with the risk of engine failure in mind, and must not be flown over any areas
where a forced landing cannot be safely executed.
Similarly the aircraft instruments (and other equipment) are certified as part of
the aircraft – but may still may fail completely, or part fail such that a gauge
may under or over-read, or fluctuate. Good judgement must be used in
monitoring instruments, and timely action taken should a reading be in doubt.
