SECTION 2 - LIMITATIONS
This section contains operating limitations, instrument markings and basic placards which
are required for safe operation of the gyroplane, including its engine, and standard
equipment or systems.
2.1
General
WARNING
The operation of a gyroplane demands professional pilot instruction and
dedicated training on gyroplanes. The aircraft must only be flown by a properly
qualified and licensed pilot..
WARNING
Positive G load on the rotor must be maintained during all flight manoeuvres.
Do not perform any manoeuvres resulting in the sensation of feeling light or
near weightless.
WARNING
Smoking on board is prohibited!
CAUTION
This gyroplane has been designed and tested for a safe design load of 3.0g at
maximum take-off weight 560kg. Note that flying at high speeds in turbulent air,
especially in combination with aggressive manoeuvres or a steep turn, can
easily create high loads on the aircraft.
NOTE
This gyroplane does not comply with the terms of the international authority for
civil aviation (ICAO). Therefore, it is not permitted to operate it in international
airspace unless specific intergovernmental agreements allow the flight. The
reason for this is that there is no international common basis for gyroplanes
type approval.
