This Flight Manual contains the necessary information for safe and efficient
operation of the ELA 07 series of gyroplanes. It provides a general
knowledge of the aircraft, its characteristics, limitations and specific Normal
and Emergency operating procedures. This manual is aimed at experienced
pilots and is therefore devoid of any basic flight principle. It does not
substitute a practical training course conducted by a qualified instructor.
This manual provides operating instructions for those circumstances in
which the aircraft is legally cleared to fly. Logically, it cannot cover every
possible situation which might occur. With multiple emergencies,
unexpected bad weather, difficult terrain etc., the pilot’s best judgment,
aided by his skill and experience, may justify modification of these
procedures.
Sections dedicated to Aircraft description, Operational limits, Normal
procedures, Emergency procedures and Handling and servicing procedures
that provides you with all required information to understand and use your
aircraft safely.
The operating procedures have been developed by experienced test pilots
and company engineers to give you the best information possible.
Before flying the aircraft, carefully read this manual and also the airframe
and engine maintenance manuals. A good pilot will always be fully informed
about his aircraft, its flight data and permitted operating limits. Sound
knowledge of these are essential to allow you to operate safely.
This aircraft has been designed and built to operate safely and correctly
within the limits defined in this manual.
