- In this video, we cover the most asked for techniques.
First, we demonstrate the challenging "impossible turn," showcasing the gyroplane's ability to perform this maneuver with precision and skill.
Next, we explore crosswind landings, providing insights and techniques to handle adverse wind conditions confidently.
Lastly, we discuss the importance of maintaining centerline control during takeoff and landing, a fundamental skill for safe and smooth operations.
Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, an experienced pilot, or simply curious about gyrocopters, this video offers valuable insights. Join us as we explore the capabilities of the gyroplane and the art of flying.

Very nicely explained - easy for a gyrocopter. Greetings from Germany
Glad it was helpful!
Another very enjoyable and educational video Henry. For someone new to Chino, airport procedures and the Cavelon, Whitney did an awesome job. Thank you!
Thanks Stacy for noticing that. Yes, she was being familiarized to the Cavalon and flying in a controlled airport. Quite different from flying a tandem seat Calidus!
The key is knowing the minimum altitude the aircraft flying can make the turn, then have that set as a hard number in your mind. The emergency turn can be done at a lower AGL than most pilots realize, but it MUST be practiced--at a safe altitude, of course! Besides another safety tool, it's a great way to learn precision aircraft handling.
Very true Pete!
More information than the back of a corn flakes box. Thanks for the morning start.
You're welcome Paul!
_Corn Flakes_ probably taste BETTER in milk than a _Gyroplane._ 😉
And what was your AGL when you made the turn around.
about 800, but we recently had a friend successfully complete it during an actual emergency at 150 AGL.
What I found kind of interesting, was you inviting everyone to come fly with you or your fellow CFI, however, it's obvious she isn't quite proficient in the gyro yet. Maybe she is now that the video has been put online.
Here's my question from the video; how much altitude does that 180 cost you?
Thanks for another great video.
Whitney is very proficient in the Calidus, which she has plenty of hours in. We needed to get her acclimated to the Cavalon, since it's side by side. We only lost about 50 feet in the 180.
I'm down south of you in San Diego. I would like to come up there and take a ride sometime.
Give the office a call and schedule an appointment with John. He'll get you set up. Our website link is in the description.
Great video. @henry, what was the AGL you were at the the 180 impossible turns?
800 feet.. we practiced at a safe altitude. We recently had a pilot do an actual engine out emergency at 150 AGL and made it safely back to the airport..video on that coming soon.
Why the left stick on take off?
P factor and engine torque under power. In gyros with Rotax engines, it's always going to be left stick, right rudder.
@AdventureAir >>> Okay, IMHO *_"Improbable"_* at the worst...😉
