Gyroplane Kit or Type Certificated? Build it or Buy it?
Gyroplane KIT – Experimental Amateur Built
- Kits are registered as Experimental Amateur Built (E-AB)
- Our kits can be considered “Quickbuild” and typically take between 8 – 14 days to assemble
- Kits must be assembled under the supervision of one of our Independent Locations, there is a fee for Builders Assist, the cost varies depending on the model but starts at $4,500 and goes up from there. Builder Assist fees are paid to the location that is assisting you and not included in the purchase price of the aircraft.
- All E-AB aircraft must complete a Phase One Fly Off, you can find more information about the Phase One at, http://www.faa-aircraft-certification.com/amateur-built-operating-limitations.html.
- Training cannot begin in this aircraft until Phase One has been completed
- The person assembling the aircraft will be named the Builder of Record and may be able to receive a Repairman’s Certificate from the FAA. This will enable that individual to complete the conditional inspection that is required every 12 months to maintain airworthiness
- After aircraft assembly, the plane must be inspected by a DAR (Designated Airworthiness Representative) and they will issue an Airworthiness Certificate
- Prior to its first flight the aircraft should complete a thorough ground test run, we have a checklist available for each of our models
Type Certificated – Primary Category Aircraft
- Built at the AutoGyro factory in Germany, test flown, and rotor blades balanced prior to shipping to the US
- Turn key, no Phase One fly Off
