GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
The instructions for the engine maintenance and servicing are not included in this manual. Please
remember that maintenance and servicing of the engine must be accomplished, by suitably trained
technicians, in accordance with the current issue of the Rotax Maintenance Manual; this is to ensure
that the correct engine maintenance is undertaken and to satisfy safety requirements for this
gyroplane.
The present Ordinary Maintenance Manual is intended to give to all operators the information and the
procedures needed for the correct maintenance of the Magni Gyro M16 (M16C) "Tandem Trainer"
gyroplane's systems, equipment, controls, cell and control surfaces. Please note that all described
operations have to be carried out only by operators authorized by Magni Gyro.
If for whatever reason there is a doubt or lack of understanding, please contact the manufacturer.
A Spare Parts Manual is supplied as attachment to this Maintenance Manual to improve easiness of
understanding of all the described procedures. The Spare Parts Manual is illustrated with drawings of
all assemblies and systems and lists all codes and descriptions. For each described maintenance
procedure, this manual lists all the required references (page or drawing number) so as to allow the
best visualization of the parts and an easy understanding of the maintenance operation. For a better
explanation of the more complex operations, pictures have been added to the description of the
maintenance operations. Facsimile of inspection sheets are attached, too.
For a general description of the gyroplane and information on the operation and control of the
gyroplane, reference should be made to Magni Gyro M16 (M16C) Pilot's Handbook.
