Learning Lessons from the Mistakes of Others
AutoGyro USA in conjunction with the International Association of Professional Gyroplane Training present three great events to promote Gyroplane Flying that is Safe, Fun and Free from Accidents.
It doesn't matter if you have 10 hours or 10,000 hours as a pilot . With flying, every day is a school day and there is always more to learn.
Gyroplanes are exciting and they are relatively new, but a lot has been learned about gyroplane-specific training in the past few years.
There are a lot of common aspects between gyroplanes and other forms of aviation, but there are also differences, and it is the differences that can bite the unsuspecting pilot.
These events follow a defined and proven structure for helping pilots fill in gaps in their knowledge. Skills or facts that just "didn't go in" during training, or have long been forgotten since getting a pilot's licence.
The symposium events are one aspect of the international project for a common standard of gyroplane training.
It's up to all of us to share our knowledge and keep gyroplane flying safe.
