Nice to see long distance Gyro flights, across countries and seas. Nice to see Gyros flown at sensible heights. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. No music would have been fine. Gyro noises are music enough.

I enjoyed this a lot. I fly a J3 out of Birrfeld and your circuits seem huge to me (the mountains too 🙂) but even more daunting is the RTF while on the ground. I definitely need to visit towered airports more often to practice that. Thanks for sharing.

why is it that the flying people all get excited about using Oxygen at 10-12k feet? In America we have a mountain known as Pikes Peak (14,115 feet) and nobody wears oxygen rigs even when racing cars up the mountain.

It is very simple, EASA stipulates that we need oxygen above 12500 feet
@markr.1984 Жыл бұрын
They sure do have to do a lot of radio work over there! But then again I think even a gyro pilot has to be IFR rated and the gyro capable of IFR. Am I correct? In the USA, you can fly VFR and go really far with no radio coms, except at and near the airports themselves. A lot more free over here. Also usually easy to stay out of congested airspace except for around New York city and Washington D.C. and the like. And of course LA and Chicago. Lots of rural areas in the states.

This is VFR not IFR, lots of controlled airspace in Europe. Also very useful to be in touch with the FIR controllers as they always warn you of approaching traffic

Do you have any heli experience? I would think that any autogyro experience would be great as you’re basically flying as if you were in a heli with an engine failure all the time with respect to managing rotor rpm speed ect.
@philipgoldsmithpilot Жыл бұрын
Heli experience doesn’t help as you only have a stick and no collective. The rotor speed is around 360-400 rpm once in flight but is a factor of forward speed of the prop that is pushing you You can’t land like a heli but more like a plane but it is quite a short landing

@philipgoldsmithpilot Жыл бұрын
Yes but you need to make sure the rotor is facing into the wind so that the wind doesn’t get under the rotor if the wind is more than a few knots. But then when parked wait for the rotor to be completely stationary before engine off

Can a gyrocopter or GYRO plane glide without power.?
@philipgoldsmithpilot 2 жыл бұрын
Yes as the rotor is not connected to the engine in flight the Gyro is in permanent auto rotation but only for a limited distance called the Glide ratio. But enough to make a safe landing in the event of engine failure as long as forward speed is maintained. You can’t land like a helicopter however you need a forward speed of around 60 mph to land but you can flare so you can land in a very short space 10-20 metres but need 200m minimum to take off

@philipgoldsmithpilot 2 жыл бұрын
You need to get a special cable which has a socket for your large headset jack at one end and a split between a large headset jack and a usb C plug at the other. The USB c goes into the GoPro and the large jack goes into your headset port on the M24. You can find them in various places try Sportys pilot shop
