Frequently Asked Questions
Is it dangerous to fly a gyroplane?
No, it is very safe to fly a gyroplane. Even in the unlikely event of an engine failure, the gyroplane will continue to plan and can be placed gently on the ground.
Is there a gyro for more than two people?
Some prototypes have been tested but rarely marketed. A reliable 4-seater version is in the plans of the manufacturer AutoGyro.
Is it possible to take off, fly and land a gyroplane anywhere?
Yes it is possible! In the case of a takeoff in the city, a developed runway or an airport is required, but in the countryside, permission from the land owner is sufficient. In flight, depending on the area, procedures must be followed but everything is explained to you and practiced in class.
