Where can I learn to fly a Autogyro?
There are numerous autogyro flying schools around the world and each country has its regulatory body governing the need or otherwise for a pilots licence. In some countries if the aircraft is under a certain weight you do not need a licence. However, wherever you live in the world and regardless of your previous flying experience you must undergo proper training these machines do not respond like a fixed wing aircraft or a helicopter. If you try and teach yourself you will CRASH and become a statistic, possibly a dead one. We emphasise TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING. In the UK the BRA list all the Autogyro instructors. Some of them have their own facilities and some are willing to use your local facilities. You do need a Private Pilots Licence (PPL) For those already holding a valid PPL(A) or PPL(H) for aeroplanes or helicopters respectively then dispensation is granted from written examinations except ‘Aircraft Technical’ They will also be expected to achieve a minimum of 20 logged hour
