OPERATION LIMITS
5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains and describes the operation limits to observe when using the gyroplane.
WARNING DANGER:
Should one of the limits specified in the present section be exceeded, all the parts of the
gyroplane will have to be carefully overhauled and checked. This event must be notified in
the flight logbooks. Before flying again, make sure that all the necessary checks have been
done.
5.2 MINIMUM CREW
Any flying activity needs a crew of at least one pilot
.
NOTE:
Smoking is forbidden.
5.3 LIMITATIONS OF POWER
The ROTAX 914 engine gives a maximum power of 115 hp for 5 minutes and 100 hp continuously for a
maximum value of 5800 r.p.m. The relation between r.p.m. and manifold pressure is described in the
document "
engine performance chart " in the APPENDIX 5
5.4 ENGINE RUNAWAY
The maximum engine's rotation speed is 5800 rpm In case of runaway speed, operate as follows:
From 5800 up to 6000 rpm.
Find the cause of the problem and solve it.
Over 6000 rpm.
Inspect the engine in accordance with the manufacturer's indications.
WARNING DANGER:
As the gyroplane is equipped with a ground adjustable pitch propeller, the runaway may
occur because the pitch is not set correctly.
The standard pitch is set in the workshop and may not be optimum for every condition of use
of gyroplanes (see "high altitude flight"). The pitch angles however may not be altered as the
performance of the gyroplane may be severely reduced
