1 OPERATING LIMITATIONS2.1 IntroductionSection 2 contains the operating limits <strong>and</strong> indicating labels which arenecessary for safe operation of the gyrocopter including the powerplant, st<strong>and</strong>ard systems <strong>and</strong> equipment.It contains the tested operating limits which have been recorded duringtesting, as well as those, which were mathematically calculated <strong>and</strong>tested in practical tests.The gyrocopter G 4-2 is not designed for aerobatic flight. Turns arelimited to 60° angle.<strong>Flight</strong>s under icing conditions (i. a. high humidity <strong>and</strong> air temperaturelower than +10° C) are not permitted.It is not allowed to fly during extreme gusty winds or in wind velocitiesexceeding 72 km/h (= 20 m/s = 40 knots).All the safe weights have been tested in trials according to the“construction regulations for ultra-light gyrocopters” during the typecertification process. However, this does not mean that higher forcesare not to be expected, especially when operating the gyrocopter onvery uneven terrain. For this reason it is especially important to maintainit with great care <strong>and</strong> to exchange the parts that were exposed toextreme <strong>and</strong>/or unusual loads.Warning: To operate the gyrocopter it is required that the pilot hasundergone a professional training <strong>and</strong> is in possession of a properpilot’s license besides the familiarization process on this specificmodel.Note: This gyrocopter does not comply to the rules <strong>and</strong> regulationsof the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). For thisreason it is not permissible to participate in international air trafficunless a special permit is obtained or interstate agreements are inexistence.<strong>Flight</strong> <strong>and</strong> operation manual G 4-2 <strong>Rev</strong>ision <strong>3.0</strong> – 09.04.2013 20
