Full description
Motorcyclist? Yes, but by autogyro!
This extraordinary aircraft is as close as you can get to a motorbike with wings: put into practice what you learnt during the theory lesson by taking command of the gyrocopter and flying for 30 minutes over the plains between Basilicata and Puglia.
A 1-hour experience in the company of a professional pilot, who will transfer all his knowledge and passion to you!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Lavello (PZ). I am your flight instructor, as well as a pilot for 25 years, and I will welcome you upon your arrival.
Once the participants are assembled, I will give a theoretical lesson of about 30 minutes to provide all the useful information about the autogyro aircraft and its piloting; I will explain the operation of the dual control, so that you can then experience the thrill of flying an aircraft.
It will then be time to climb aboard theMagni M16 gyrocopter: a tandem airbike with an open cabin, equipped with instructor and participant stations one behind the other; in short, a motorbike with wings!
Ready for take-off, we will fly for about 30 minutes over the plains between Basilicata and Puglia, with views of Mount Vulture and Lake Monticchio. You will also take control of the aircraft and transform yourself into a pilot for the occasion.
We will then land at the meeting point. The experience will last 1 hour in total.
