Re: Autogyro scene in Canada
Just from reading a few different forums I've already come up with a list of gyro's I'm not interested in learning in OR flying in! That list is only 3 models... which is ok, considering I'd be perfectly happy in at least 4-5 models already, again just from reading.

Re: Autogyro scene in Canada
I just wish there was more interest in this country / province! As I said before it seems that the TC regulations are a major hamper on potential owners / operators of gyro's here.. It's even harder looking for any sort of used market in Canada, I couldn't find a single machine... and thats my next ...

Re: Autogyro scene in Canada
Where abouts do you plan on such a facility? I suspect there's a decent market down here? Yes, it seems to be. The school location is still under discussion, depends on the airport who is ready to have business with us. But most likely it should be within Toronto Terminal area. Just an idea, and I'...

Re: Autogyro scene in Canada
Attempting to learn to fly any pusher prop gyroplane without proper training is like playing Russian Roulette with three bulletts in a six shooter pistol. I whole-heartedly agree ! :P I like to find a local field / EAA group / training facility from which to get some first hand information or fligh...

Re: Autogyro scene in Canada
My love of gyro's is still alive, and yet my search for adequate resources in Ontario remains a bust :( In a related thread, I read that the number of registered gyro's in Canada is far greater than trained pilots... Whats the story on flying these machines without the TC mandated training regime? P...

Re: Autogyro scene in Canada
Briefly, it seems to me that the TC requirements for what in the US can be flown with a simpler permit are a bit in excess. It would cost more to go through the proper channels @ $240/hr flight time for the 40+hrs required for the permit, than the cost of many gyro kits! So it's only a financial is...

Re: Autogyro scene in Canada
Seems that for some reason TC is practically against obtaining your Gyro permit at any reasonable expense. Somewhat reminds me of Ontario's approach to motorcycle insurance.. when you're new, expect to pay 2x the value of your machine! Very discouraging. Is there any leeway in regards to ultralight ...
