WARNING DANGER:
In windy conditions, or if the payload is light, it is possible that the gyroplane will lift up
onto the tail wheel. If this occurs, the pre-rotator should be released and the stick moved
forward to balance the gyroplane on the main wheels, some engine power should be
applied to prevent the gyroplane from moving backward. The rotor rpm will continue to
increase. When the rotor speed is equal or greater than 200 rpm, proceed as for take-off.
This should be practiced with an instructor before proceeding in these conditions.
8. Pre-rotation lever ...........................................at limit stop
9. Engine............................................................increase its speed until reaching a rotor speed
of 220 rpm (standard pre-rotation)
WARNING DANGER:
The minimum rotor pre-rotation speed is 150 rpm It is strictly forbidden to proceed with
takeoff operations if the rotor rpm is lower than the minimum value.
NOTE:
Under identical conditions, the length of the take-off run depends on the rotor rpm
reached during pre-rotation.
The maximum speed of the pre-rotation system is 300 rpm.
The life of the pre-rotation system and its inspection frequency depend on the average
rotor rpm applied during the pre-rotation operation.
WARNING DANGER:
If it is not possible to reach the minimum rotor rpm during pre-rotation, stop the operation
and return to the parking area.
10. Brakes..........................................................release
11. Rotor ............................................................220 rpm
12. Pre-rotation lever .........................................release
WARNING DANGER:
It is strictly forbidden to operate the pre-rotation lever other than during the pre-rotation
procedure.
