Introduction
This manual has been written to provide pilots and engineers with information essential for
safe and effective operation on
gyrocopter. The manual also contains basic guidelines
from the gyrocopter manufacturer and also legal requirements concerning the performance of
flights.
The manual is not a substitute for theoretical and
practical training in respect of piloting gyrocopters.
gyrocopter pilots must hold a qualification certificate or a valid licence for ultralight
aircrafts with specialization for gyrocopters. Before flight pilots must become acquainted with the
uniqueness of the gyrocopter. We recommend you read both the Flight Manual and the Service
Manual to be fully familiar with the structure, all the equipment and the driving unit of the
gyrocopter.
The gyrocopter can only be used for flight when it is technically operative and holds a valid
authorization to perform flights. An authorization to perform flights is entered into the ultralight
aircraft book, which is a document identifying an ultralight aircraft and its units as well as
containing details about the history of usage.
The utilized gyrocopter should be entered into aircraft records kept by the Civil Aviation
Authority as well as hold current air third-party insurance.
