ELA 07-07S PILOT OPERATOR´S HANDBOOK

3.2 SPEED LIMITS

- Velocity never exceed (Vne): 100 mph.
Do not exceed this speed this speed as it may cause structural
damage to the aircraft.
- Turbulence speed (Vno): 70 mph.
When flying in high turbulence conditions reduce the speed as it may
cause structural damage to the aircraft.
3.3 AEROBATIC MANEUVERS
- Any aerobatic manoeuvre is prohibited.
- "G" limits: Any manoeuvre which reduces "g" loads below +1g is
forbidden.
Maneuvers involving a deliberate reduction in normal g shall be
avoided as can cause a significant drop in rotor rpm with resultant
loss of control response and danger to life.
3.4 LOAD FACTOR
- Maximum load factor is +3g. A higher value could permanently
deform the gyroplane´s structure.
- Maximum bank angle: Do not exceed 60º angle of bank.
- Rotor speed: Max. Rotor speed is 550 rpm.
This gyroplane has been designed and tested for a maximum load
factor of 3g with MTOW. Flying at high speeds with aggressive
3.5 WEIGHT
maneuvers or a steep turn can easily create higher loads on the
aircraft.
