Ready for Switzerland- Join the AutoGyro Family!

Written by Nils Uhlemann on 19/06/2023. Posted in NEWS.

We are looking for our new exclusive Swiss sales partner, for affiliated Swiss flight schools, and Swiss maintenance partners to open this new market with us.

All of our class-leading Cavalon, Calidus and MTOsport 2017 models have been shown to meet the strict Swiss noise regulation requirements with the latest Rotax 915iS engines, so we have a gyroplane model to inspire everyone. In cooperation with ROTAX we found a way to tame the 915iS engine enough to meet the Swiss performance requirements.

Our Cavalon and the MTOsport 2017 are approved with a throttled ROTAX 915 iS motor and Woodcomp propeller, with a huge maximum takeoff mass of 560 kg. Our Calidus is approved with a ROTAX 914 UL motor and Woodcomp propeller, and maximum takeoff mass of 500 kg. A big thank goes out to our AutoGyro development, certification and flight team who prepared the tests and carried them out together with RS Flight Systems.

With 20 years of production experience and more than 3000 gyroplanes in service, the market leader AutoGyro is proud to enter the Swiss market for the first time. Benefit from the operating with aircraft built by the world’s leading gyroplane manufacturer, made-in-Germany quality and excellent service support. The application process for Swiss sales, service and maintenance partners is now open. We are looking forward receiving your inquiries and applications.

Please use our application form.

Test flight report: Autopilot in AutoGyro’s Cavalon with state-of-the-art avionics

Written by CA on 23/05/2023. Posted in NEWS.

Test flight report – Learn about the experience of flying a gyroplane equipped with autopilot, radio navigation and dual screen Garmin G3X touch avionics. Our Czech partner Pavel Březina reports…

In May 2023 Pavel Březina, Managing director of our czech partner AGN systems s.r.o., had the chance to test our high-spec Cavalon with autopilot both solo, and together with numerous pilots. They absolutely “enjoyed the difference” and all pilots were thoroughly convinced: “A real mature aircraft that combines FUN with SAFETY”.

We thank Pavel for sharing with us your experience, enthusiasm and trip report from flying in the Czech Republic and back to Germany:

“Gerry Speich, CEO of AutoGyro GmbH, visited us in Přerov last weekend. We are planning to work together with our version of Calidus with the Rotax 915 and Rotax 916 engines. (Ed; Maybe there is surprise coming..)

Gerry flew in a Cavalon equipped with a Garmin GMC 507 autopilot. This is the first gyroplane ever to have a fully approved autopilot installation. Combined with a Garmin G3X glass cockpit I had the opportunity to test it for a few days.

After thoroughly studying it on YouTube and elsewhere, I visited a few more experienced pilots, enticed them into the gyro and had them advise me on some procedures. I also gave a few of our gyro pilots a ride in rainy conditions over the weekend. We all agreed that the Cavalon, equipped like this, has become a mature vehicle and flying it is fun, but most importantly, safe.

Also this week I flew to Hildesheim, where AutoGyro is based, and configured and ordered a Cavalon with a new Rotax 916 engine and equipped with advanced avionics and a Garmin autopilot.

So you can look forward to a demo machine and soon you will be able to try this Cavalon with us. Since the demonstration Cavalon was registered in England, my English pilot’s license finally came in handy too.”

Back in the air again – FAA recommences issue of AutoGyro primary category type certificates

Written by CA on 10/05/2023. Posted in NEWS.

We want to offer our congratulations to the AutoGyro USA team, their patient owners, and the AutoGyro Certification Team for their success in appealing the imposition of helicopter fuel system safety requirements in gyroplanes.

We are all grateful for the careful consideration and understanding of the different operational characteristics given within the FAA, leveraging the new AIR Issue Resolution and Appeal Process. All aircraft that were temporarily grounded have been released into service without any modifications required. The entire AutoGyro team is thrilled to be back in full production. As the only provider of factory built, Primary Category type-certificated gyroplanes in the entire United States. We would like to thank everyone in the AutoGyro community for their support as we navigated this lengthy challenge. We are grateful to the FAA for their communication and consideration throughout the appeal process. And are excited to focus on what we do best, designing and building safe beautiful gyroplanes.
Enjoy the Difference!

CAVALON PRO

Written by CA on 24/02/2023. Posted in AUTO-GYRO-PRO-MODELS, CavalonPro.

Introducing the Cavalon Pro version of the AutoGyro Cavalon aircraft, compliant with UK Civil Aviation Authority requirements for a UK Standard Category Certificate of Airworthiness. This ICAO-compliant certificate is recognised across the globe, and AutoGyro is the only company in the world with this level of gyroplane certification.

With this certification, the aircraft is permitted to undertake any paid aerial work for which it is equipped and approved, and where a Certificate of Airworthiness is required, especially in Europe. Examples of such work include air taxi, carriage of goods, surveying, police and fire service duties, and much more.

The Cavalon Pro aircraft are fitted with a certified Rotax 914, 915, or 916 iSc engine and constant speed Woodcomp propeller, ensuring maximum safety and reliability. The Cavalon Pro can be supplied either with a UK registration and Airworthiness Certificate, ready to fly under a UK PPL or CPL licence, or with a Statement of Aircraft Conformity for local country acceptance.

Certification includes day and night VFR, and IFR capability.

Most countries, where legislation permits, would recognise and verify the aircraft certification via their systems and award their equivalent. In cases where that is not practical and subject to local aviation legal limitations, the aircraft can undertake aerial work under a UK registration. This certification is equivalent to any other certificated aircraft, such as a Cessna or Airbus, ensuring the highest level of safety and compliance for professional use.

So, if you’re looking for a reliable and compliant gyroplane for your professional needs, look no further than the Cavalon Pro aircraft. Order yours today and experience the ultimate in professional gyroplane aviation.
