AutoGyro, Gyrocopter trial flight experiences
This is your opportunity to take to the skies in a Gyrocopter. You will be able to experience the thrill of Gyrocopter flight, where all the special characteristics of this type of aircraft will be demonstrated to you. You will also be given the chance to take the controls & fly this motorbike of the sky yourself.
All Gyrocopter Experience events begin with a technical briefing which includes an introduction to how a Gyrocopter works and how it is flown. There will also be an important safety briefing. Your Gyrocopter Experience flight will last for around 30 or 60 minutes (depending which option you selected) and during the flight you will have the opportunity to take the controls and fly it yourself, or you can simply relax and enjoy the panoramic views. If you later decide to train for your private pilots licence to fly a Gyrocopter, then your Experience flight Exercise 1a of the syllabus - will count towards your training.
In our opinion, the Gyrocopter industry is going through a revolution, this has been a direct result of the introduction of factory built Gyrocopters, fully approved by the CAA. Until recently, the only way that you could legally fly a Gyrocopter in the UK was to build one, this severely limited the number of people who could fly - not many of us have the time or the ability to spend hundreds of hours building a machine. This has now changed.
What does this mean? It means that the type of person who is able to fly Gyrocopters has changed and those people who just want to train, buy a machine and fly, are now able to do so. This brings the Gyrocopter Industry in line with the Microlight and Light Aviation Industries.
