PILOT OPERATING HANDBOOK
Chapter 7
Gyrocopter and its Equipment
Individual circuits are activated with the appropriately described switches and
protected with safety fuses. When the generator is not working (e.g. if the
engine is off, at low rotations, or there is a failure), an orange charging indicator
light is illuminated on the instrument panel and then the electrical units will be
powered by the battery.
7.14 Static and Total Pressure System
The total pressure feeder, in the form of a pitot tube, is located in the nose of
the gyrocopter’s fuselage. It is connected with a plastic hose directly to the
speedometer. Static pressure to the speedometer, altimeter and vertical speed
indicator is taken from
sensor placed in
the cabin, directly through the
instrument connectors.
