Full description
You know the cartoon Doraemon? The blue cat who flew thanks to his propeller hat?
Well, it looks just like an autogyro and you will discover it during your flight baptism: for the occasion you will be able to try to command this particular aircraft in the company of an instructor, flying over the Ticino river and the Certosa di Pavia.
Anexperience of over 45 minutes, with your head in the clouds!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Albairate (MI). You will be welcomed by theinstructor who will accompany you on your first autogyro flight!
The experience will begin with anintroduction on the ground lasting about 15 minutes, during which the instructor will explain how the gyrocopter works and the manoeuvres you will perform in flight. You will then board the aircraft to familiarise yourself with the control stick and then sit in your seat.
Get ready for take-off! During the flight, the instructor will give you further instructions on how to perform the manoeuvres and, once you have reached the right altitude, you can try to fly the gyrocopter for about 5 minutes. For the remaining time on board you will enjoy the panoramic view of the Ticino river and the Certosa di Pavia, where you can take photos and videos from a unique perspective! At the end of the 45-minute flight, it will be time to land.
The experience will last a total of 1 hour, at the end of which you will receive your 'Pilot for a day' diploma!
