6.4 TURBULENCE OR STORM
WARNING DANGER:
It is forbidden to fly in storms or strong turbulence.
If a storm occurs during a flight, change route or look for a suitable place to land.
In case of strong turbulence, proceed as follows:
1. Altitude:
in case of strong downdraught, maintain sufficient altitude to avoid impact with the
ground or other obstacles. When flying in mountains, flying at an altitude above the highest
mountain crests should reduce turbulence and increase the steadiness of the wind.
2. Indicated speed:
adjust the attitude in order maintain the best gust penetration speed
6.5 SNOW, ICE AND RAIN
The gyroplane is not fitted with anti-icing systems for the control surfaces of both propeller
and rotor.
Taxiing operations are allowed on surfaces covered with ice or snow with the following
warnings:
1. Increased braking distance
2. Reduced directional control
WARNING DANGER:
It is forbidden to fly whenever there is a possibility of ice formation on aerodynamic
surfaces.
Flight in snow is prohibited.
Flight in hail is prohibited.
WARNING:
Flying in rain conditions is permitted only if the visibility is sufficient to guarantee safe
flying.
NOTE:
Extended flying in heavy rain conditions may cause wear of the paint on the end of the
rotor and propeller leading edges.
