LIMITATIONS
RSUK0287_POH_Cavalon Revision 3.0, Issue Date 06.04.16 2-2
NOTE
During the approval process all required safe loads have been successfully
demonstrated. However, the gyroplane may be exposed to unpredictable and
high loads especially when operated on rough surfaces, such as an unprepared
grass strip. In this case it is even more essential to perform a thorough pre-
flight inspection and have components and parts replaced, where needed.
NOTE
The choice, selection and use of this particular aircraft for the purpose chosen
is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the owner/pilot. RotorSport UK
Ltd and AutoGyro GmbH take no responsibility for your decision to fly.
This aircraft is operated under a Permit to Fly, not a certificate of airworthiness.
This means that it is only allowed to be used for recreation, or flight training
(where allowed). It also means that the aircraft has not been certified to any
international standard, and that the components used in the aircraft are not
necessarily certified parts. Whilst the manufacturer takes great care to ensure
the parts are of appropriate quality, the level of guaranteed service is less than
that with a certified aircraft, and pilot operators must consider this in their flight
planning
In common with other aircraft of this type the Cavalon utilises a non-certified
engine. This means that there may be a higher risk of engine failure than in a
certified aircraft, with the associated risks of damage or injury as the result of
an unplanned landing. Therefore strict compliance with the engine
manufacturer’s maintenance schedules, operational procedures and any
additional instructions which may be given to you by RotorSport UK Ltd, on
behalf of the engine supplier, is essential. The aircraft must always be flown
with the risk of engine failure in mind, and must not be flown over any areas
where a forced landing cannot be safely executed.
Similarly the aircraft instruments (and other equipment) are non-certified.
Gauges may fail completely, or part fail such that a gauge may under or over-
read, or fluctuate. Good judgement must be used in monitoring instruments,
and timely action taken should a reading be in doubt.
