Ian flies a gyroplane for his 75th birthday
มุมมอง 3942 ปีที่แล้ว
Ian's wife and family flew with us last year and had an amazing time, so when it came to getting him a special gift for his 75th birthday what better than his own flight in a gyroplane. Ian had a fantastic time with us (as does everyone who flies with us!) and it was our delight to help him celebrate his birthday in style. Ian you are welcome back any time 👍

As part of the ASRA Instructor endorsement qualification you need to demonstrate a full engine off landing. This is my (Dean's) practical preparation for this assessment - and nailed it successfully. Then on the next circuit an unexpected pull back on the throttle to ensure I was on the ball and able to bring the gyro down for a safe landing - yes!

  • @jeroenjansen2709

    I think you have to watch your airspeed and your rev count because you can stall it

    • @rotor-sport_australia
      @rotor-sport_australia ปีที่แล้ว

      Gyroplanes don't stall. We can have zero airspeed and still descend vertically all the way to the ground - we'd land with a thud though. The rotors continue to rotate thanks to airflow through the rotor system so if the engine does quit we simply pitch the aircraft to landing speed (typically 55-60 knots) and land safely.

    • @joshua.merrill
      @joshua.merrill ปีที่แล้ว

      At 0 airspeed, would the gyrocopter start to yaw in the direction of blade rotation? Is rotor overspeeding a problem? I’ve been doing helicopter lessons, and gyros are just mind-blowing to me!

    • @rotor-sport_australia
      @rotor-sport_australia ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi @@joshua.merrill at 0 airspeed the gyro will lose rudder authority and begin to spin. No amount of rudder input will prevent this, so the recovery is simply lower the nose to regain some airspeed which returns rudder authority and you will stop spinning. It's simple! The rotor self-manages its RPM so there's nothing we need to do with it - once we have completed the take off process the rotor RPM is mostly irrelevant

    Nothing, you just land softly in autorotation, keep the max efficiency speed to maximize the flight time and look for a good emergency landing field, descend and then perform a short flare and stop the gyro in few meters on the land. One of the advantages of the autogyro is that it doesn’t need a long runway or long field to dissipate the speed after landing as a normal three axis plane

      Thanks. There's no headsup glide scope - no real need for one either. Climb rates depend on weight, wind, and airspeed, but achieving over 1000 fpm is certainly possible. Best rate of climb speed is 65 kts.

      Believe it or not, with enough practice your brain sort of cuts through and ignores the vibration of the stick and only reacts to things that feel odd. The brain is an amazing thing. Don't believe me? Your nose is always in your field of vision but your brain tunes it out because it's always there, therefore the brain sees it as useless information and filters it out. Same thing with the stick vibration in a gyro. Once your brain realizes the vibration is useless information on what the aircraft is doing. It will filter it out
