Coming soon. Gyrocopter (Gyroplane) MT-03 training at GS Aviation, Marlborough, WiltshireComing soon. Gyrocopter (Gyroplane) MT-03 trainingCommencing early 2010, learn to fly in a gyrocopter (gyroplane) with GS Aviation, a Wiltshire flying school offering gyrotraining to PPL(G) using MT-03 aircraft. Ground school, trial lessons and gift vouchers will also be available.
The MT-03 is one of the new generation of aircraft in the UK, BCAR Section-T compliant, factory built in Germany and final assembly in the UK at Rotorsport UK Ltd's CAA approved workshops. Gyrocopters have come a long way since Little Nellie in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice and are now practical, safe and serious fun to fly machines. The gyroplane will complement our other flying activities. In many ways the aircraft is very similar to our present microlights. Same Rotax engine, same maximum take off weight, similar range and performance with the only major difference that it can land in a much smaller space. The licence required is the PPL(G) which requires more hours than the microlight but then the aircrafts abilities are much broader. If you have ever fancied flying a rotary wing aircraft then consider the gyrocopter rather than a helicopter. They may not be able to take off vertically and hover but otherwise have many similarities. However the gyroplane uses considerably less fuel, is quieter and much much cheaper to fly. We intend to offer training from early 2010 in the UK and possibly also in France.

Rotorcraft Flying Handbookby Federal Aviation Administration Published 2007 208 pages paperback Guide Price: £10.00 At first sight this looks like a helicopter manual however chapters 15 to 20 are on gyrocopters and it provides a lot of the technical detail about how rotary wing aircraft fly. I found this a useful read along side Phil Harwoods book mentioned above. Click here to buy through our Amazon shop
Extracts from the Rotorsport UK Ltd web siteMT-03The MT-03 is an all new aircraft designed and developed in Germany, and now, in partnership with RotorSport UK, has been developed to be the best in the world in showing full compliance with BCAR Section T, the toughest airworthiness standard around for Sport Gyroplanes. The aircraft will also have the proud distinction of being the first two-seater to have done so. It's an aircraft which is "right" from the ground-up, featuring:
