Kinds of Operation
Day-VFR operation is approved for all Cavalon gyroplanes
In markets where night operation is permitted, night-VFR operation is approved for Cavalon
gyroplanes when fitted with the required minimum equipment.
Aerobatic flight is prohibited!
NOTE
Manoeuvres involving bank angles of more than 60° are considered to be
aerobatic flight.
Low-G manoeuvres are prohibited!
WARNING
Any maneuver resulting in a low-G (near weightless) condition can result in a
catastrophic loss of lateral/roll control in conjunction with rapid main rotor
RPM decrease. Always maintain adequate load on the rotor and avoid
aggressive pitch forward control input performed from level flight or following
a pull-up.
Excessive side-slip is prohibited!
WARNING
Side slip may be performed only with proper training and within safe
boundaries. Use gentle pedal input for initiation and stabilization. Do not rely
on airspeed indication in side slip. Never perform abrupt control stick input into
the direction of motion. Be aware that excessive side slip particularly in
strong/gusty conditions may result in an uncontrollable and unrecoverable
attitude.
Flight in icing conditions is prohibited!
