5.7.3 DAMAGE ALONG BLADE’S FACE OR BACK
WARNING DANGER:
It is strictly forbidden to use the gyroplane in case of damage along the rotor blade’s top and/or
bottom, especially if the covering shows signs of abrasion or unraveling on the fibre glass covering or if
part of the core is torn.
In this case, the rotor with its two blades and its hub pn 245 (for 27 ft) or pn 285 (for 28 ft) must be completely
removed from the gyroplane, according to the procedure indicated in paragraph 6.3, and sent to Magni Gyro for
control, repair or replacement.
WARNING DANGER:
Flight is forbidden in case of debonding of the covering of the blade’s face or back, of deformation and
anomalous swelling.
Any repainting or repair of the blades must be communicated to Magni Gyro and will only be allowed
under the supervision of Magni Gyro authorized engineers.
After this action, the gyroplane rotor blades must be balanced as before it may fly again.
NOTE:
After a period of time some cracking at the root of the rotor blades may become apparent. Examples of
this cracking is shown in the photographs below:
