Flight to 13,403 with Oxygen to the Matterhorn
This was part of a flight from LSGS Sion to the Matterhorn and return. Flight was 159 km and took 45mins from the airport at 1582 feet up to 13,403 and back using O2 from 5000 feet. My O2 saturation still got quite low! Despite the big climb I managed an average speed of 213Km/h.

Flight in my Dynamic WT9 Speed from Switzerland to the UK on Saturday 11th July 2022. Weather in England was low cloud with turbulence, as I was really focused on landing I forgot to turn the GoPro on for the landing! Sorry
Circuits at Sion in my ICP Savannah S
มุมมอง 2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is an uncut 42min video of 5 circuits at LSGS Sion today. It has several sideslips (Glissades) in it which is to lose height quickly. For those learning it is definitely worth watching. Main fault-not quite in the centre of the runway but it is 40m wide!!

Flight Fairoaks UK to Bellegarde France in a Magni M24 Gyrocopter
มุมมอง 14K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This was the return flight in what was a very long day. I was picked up at 6am and took off at 7am finally landing at Bellegarde at 17.35 ( 1hr on UK).Total of 7 engine hours but a long time in a Gyro. I urge you to watch to the end because I made a really awful final landing at Bellegarde which I put down to being very tired!!

I have managed to edit an 8 1/2 hour flight down to about a 30 minute video with the most interesting parts of the journey. My M24 was faultless throughout the journey. I hope you enjoy it!
Magni M24 Gyrocopter Flight from Sion, Switzerland to Aosta in Italy
มุมมอง 5K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Flew from 1582 feet at Sion Airport via the Grand St Bernard Passat where I was flying at nearly 11,000feet and back down to Aosta Airport 1791feet all in about 45mins flight time, Oh yes with pretty strong winds 20Kts gusting to 27kts on landing

Unfortunately having tried the Simplon pass and the Monte Moro pass, I was forced to return to Sion beaten by thick (unforecasted) Cloud. This video shows the departure and various parts of a flight lasting nearly 2 hours condensed into about 15mins up to 11,444ft and a distance of around 125miles.

Joly good my brother.
You really mastered the skies bro!!!✈️🚁🌐
I thought English is the universal language for all aviation. Please explain. Thanks
In France and in many other countries the national language is used as well as English
Hi Philip . What’s happening to the new videos ?
A Good question! I need to get the go pro up and running again😊
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.
Very, very nice video! The voice-over was perfect. Thank you very much.
No I have made a nonstop 5hr 40m flight and my arm was not tired but I was in desperate need of a WC!!
does your arm get tired holding the throttle? I will soon be starting flight training on savannah s
do you have instagram to follow you? Kind regards
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.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So cool dad looks like fun
Cool - literally! What aircraft?
Dynamic WT9 Speed Rotax 914 turbo engine, retractable gear
Great video Philip!!! what a tale.... I was at Sion skiing some years ago. Crazy
Hope the flights went smooth
Really smooth apart from near Paris where we are restricted to low altitude and there was some turbulence 😊
😊 beautiful flight ... haven't expected this for crowded Europe as it serms you still have some flexibility in ur route planning. love gyros .... most safe machines for my understanding. Tks for sharing. Greetings ftom Netherlands/Cpt. JR
🙏👍
its a shame you are stuck with the one camera angle, cuda been a great video instead of good.
I need to buy at least one more go pro!
"yeah..... rubbish RT procedures..."😉
Sorry but I don’t understand your comment?
@@philipgoldsmithpilot You don't realise you're doing it, but having watched "most" of your (entertaining) videos, you appear to prefix the majority of your RT transmissions with "yeah,.....". I'm surprised that the non-English speaking Air Traffickers don't pull you up for it, is all.
@@markyoungman148 Hi Mark, very helpful but I think I have now stopped doing it! If you look at the more recent ones flying my WT9!
@@philipgoldsmithpilot I confess that, despite my fixed wing professional background I'm rather more addicted to your gyro exploits, so haven't looked at the WT9 vids yet 😏Clear skies.. ✌
of course the negative things that could happen are always apparent, but its a shame you spend so much time contemplating them, you would get far more enjoyment from the experience if you could pigeon hole these fears, they will never go away hopefully but you waste to much time dwelling on negativity, needlessly i think you will find."".
Nice.
Thanx for sharing.
I'm not sure I could handle all that vibration for long. Seems like a lovely way to travel though.
Nice.
Wonderful views, somewhat spoiled by so many "ers", "erms" and "umms". Sorry to point this out but can't you just verbally flow a bit better?
So good to see you fly in gyro, hope someday could do the same!
Whoa…made my day…what a blessing to all who have wondered what it would be like …thx from a retired Aviator.
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
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
Quite the place to make mistakes
What a great scenery ! Nice video, thank you ! I love that region, unfortunately only on my sim. The landscapes of the parisian region, in wich i am passing my ppl , are not as beautiful....
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.
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
Magneto? I doubt it 😉 😆 Btw, avgas is all we use on our airfield - Rotax engines are fine with it so long as you do 25hr oil changes
TOO QUIET
nice trip, you taxi with the rotor spinning?
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
Gorgeous area to fly over. But not too great looking for emergency landing.
Looking at the Matterhorn in a Gyro. Doesn’t get any better than that.
I visit often Sion, we have friends there …. Very beutifull place to visit !!!
I Hope one day coming from France by myself with a light airplane after my training flight as a student pilot !
Can help me get engine? Nice videos.
Can I ask what the typical landing fee would be at small regional airfields please?
Fairoaks I think charge £17:50, in Switzerland I pay around CHF 15-25 depending on which airfield
Can a gyrocopter or GYRO plane glide without power.?
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
The Gyro appears to have a good bit of vibration. The front and back gyro's appear more stable than the side by side.
A good observation, in general I think you are correct
dang! you cut all landings off?!?! they are the most interesting parts .. especially for a gyro :-) nice trip anyway!
Look at some of the other videos, plenty of landings!
Enjoyed your video - I am in the process of getting a Magni M24 and would like to make videos of some of my adventures. Can I ask how you capture your audio? I purchased a GoPro and now need to figure out how to tie in the audio. Thanks!
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
Hey ! My voice after 5'56", glad to be able to hear it from the cockpit !
Very nice ! Thank you for sharing
Magic area to fly in. th-cam.com/channels/2KlTMqAWkmjlWTn46efqjg.html
Gyros are a lot of fun. We really enjoyed having this one visit our airport / aerodrome here in Nogales, Arizona, USA. Enjoy watching the "slo-mo" segment. th-cam.com/video/T6oxbzWZkmY/w-d-xo.html
It seems like there is a constant stick vibration, how typical is this?
All Gyros have an element of stick vibration unlike planes where you don’t have this but you get used to it !
Honored to have lucked upon your adventures. I would assume you are an experienced aviator that has found the joy of gyro? Excellent presentation and editing. Truly a joy to watch, Sir.
No actually I started learning to fly a Gyro in 2017 then switched to an Ultralight aircraft- I CP Savannah and have now recently passed a full PPL A so only been flying about 4 1:2 years altogether!! Thanks for your kind remarks
One of the more enjoyable videos I have seen out of hundreds. Very well done, incredible views, and thank you. Very worthwhile subscription.
This is flying VFR not IFR. Lots of controlled airspace in Europe and even in uncontrolled space it is good to keep in touch with the FIR as airspace is very busy and they always let you know if there are aircraft close to you
I made the trip on the Eurostar in 2 hours
