Your gyro in single parts
Each of our gyroplanes consists out of many thousand parts of which 90% are produced here in our factory. As every gyro is unique due to your individual configuration, we will hand out an illustrated parts lists with each delivery from now on. This list shows every main unit of the aircraft with a picture. Addionally, the parts are added by their specific order numbers, so that you may always find the right spares for your gyro in our online shop our of course with your specific maintenance partner. For already delivered gyros, that have been constructed after 01.01.2012, we may of course hand out the parts list subsequently. In this case, please send your request including the serial number to Karsten Stolz via email.
…or do you not care about who works it?
Safety first! This is our device and we act upon it – for you and for us. Therefore, we would like to ensure that our gyroplanes keep the high quality and safety standards after being delivered. A worldwide network of trained and competent maintenance partners thus is always at your disposal. Thanks to our full service you may order via these partners all spare parts that are only available for authorized service centers. Just as maintaining your car, you may leave safety related works to the specialized and professional AutoGyro partners. This is our service for you: orders and maintenances from one source! Of course it is always possible for each pilot to obtain the specific know-how. Regularly, we offer seminars at AutoGyro or our partners’ locations training you in maintaining your gyros. Please get more information through your contact person.
Online shop structures critical parts
Since more than two months, our online shop is active and offers best overview over spares and orders. As explained in the article above, some units are only available for our trained and specialized maintenance partners. Analogical to the automobile industry, we hereby ensure the sustainment of the quality and safety of your gyroplane for many years. Aside from competent assistance, this service package especially offers the perfect flexibility: Via the maintenance network, the decentralized availability of spares is perfectly controlled and professional service is always secured. Our online shop therefore shows the parts that may be ordered by every pilot, and differentiates these from the more critical or security relevant parts requiring expert knowledge for their installation. Your maintenance partners will be happy to answer your questions and handle the orders and works concerning your gyro. That’s our service for your safety!
Covered, packed, improved
Bags are not always only inspiring the girls: Now, we have the perfect bags for equipping your gyros. Practical and pretty for each pilot, the bag for the log book will be delivered with every gyro leaving our factory. Also desired for a long time by many Calidus owners, we can now offer the storage compartment bags for both, left and right side. For protection and for safe maneuvering in the hangar, the rotor blade cover envelops the complete rotor safely. Of course, you may find further pictures and information in our online shop, where you may also directly place your order.
Gyro simulator for training
In close collaboration, the Flight School Kiggen, the company Simtec, the DLR and AutoGyro have created a flight simulator for gyroplanes which is now ready for training. During a few weeks, we flew with the test gyro and recorded all flight parameters necessary, always focussing on the actuators measuring the control forces and movements of the gyro. With this data, the company Simtec was able to calibrate the simulator. Thanks to their great knowhow, the simulator can even feign any of the AutoGyro models and is now applied for training at the Flight School Kiggen on the Hildesheim airfield. There, flight students train the procedures for starts and landings. The simulator will stay in Hildesheim until end of April before returning to Simtec for further developments.
The eSKImo takes off!
The video we received from our partner Pavel from the Czech Republic is the ultimative proof for the fact that mutability is simply a lot of fun! , The airfield in his home town Zlín-Prštné is still covered in snow, but that definitely is no reason for our gyroplanes to stay on ground. They are the real all-rounders! In his video, Pavel shows us how easy it is to equip the Calidus with skis and how much fun his so-called “eSKImo” is. If you are also interested in flying on skis, please check the individual registration regulations of your country first and, therefore, contact the specific international partner in your country. Click here for watching the movie. Have fun!
