We know that for any activity that involves some risk, we have to have prior training to know what we have to do and even how we should act in case of an emergency.
One of the activities in which it is required to have some information about what to do while in the air, that is, you must have a previous training to be able to pilot an autogyro.
At ELA AVIATION we are great professionals of autogyros and gyrocopters, so in the following article you will read below we show you how important it is to have prior knowledge about autogyros.
Why is it important to have training in autogyro?
These are some of the most important points to realize how important it is to have a previous training before getting on an autogyro.
Safety
The autogyro is a very safe aircraft, but requires a specific piloting technique that differs from that of other types of aircraft. Proper self-shooting training is essential to ensure the safety of the pilot and passengers.
Knowledge of the aircraft
The autogyro is a unique aircraft with particular characteristics that differentiate it from other aircraft. The training in autogyro allows the pilot to better understand the operation and characteristics of this aircraft, which translates into better control and greater efficiency in flight.
Expanded skills
Training in autogyro expands the skills of the pilot by providing a different and unique flying experience. The pilot learns new piloting techniques and safety strategies that can be applied in other types of aircraft.
Career opportunities
Self-study training can open up career opportunities for the pilot in areas such as sports aviation, aerial photography, border surveillance, aerial exploration and mapping, and other areas requiring aircraft with special capabilities.
Flexibility
Autogyros are extremely versatile aircraft that can be used in a variety of applications, from aerial exploration and mapping to sports aviation and aerial photography. Self-shooting training allows pilots to make the most of the versatility of this aircraft and adapt their flight to the specific needs of each task.
Unique flight experience
Self-shooting training offers a unique flight experience that can expand a pilot’s skills. Autogyros have a higher maneuverability than helicopters and can fly at low altitudes and speeds, allowing pilots to see the terrain in a unique way. Experience gains more wealth when one can manage it all alone.
Can you take any chances flying even if you’ve trained with your autogyro?
Yes, flying in autogyro, like flying in any type of aircraft, carries certain inherent risks, even if you have received proper training. For example, the weather can change quickly and present unexpected challenges for autogyro drivers. Strong winds, turbulence, dense fog or ice conditions can affect aircraft stability and control.
Although autogyros are relatively simple aircraft compared to traditional aircraft, they can still experience mechanical failures. Problems with the engine, control systems or structural components can occur at any time and pose a risk to flight safety. It is important to know that even the most experienced pilots can make mistakes in the handling of the aircraft. Inattentiveness, fatigue, incorrect decision-making or errors of judgment can contribute to dangerous situations in the air.
