A gyroplane or autogyro is its own unique type of aircraft. As we can tell from our many discussions on gyroplane history the autogyro was the evolution of the airplane to the helicopter. In appearance this craft has similarities to both types of aircraft but a gyroplane flies only like a gyroplane.
Yes, a license is required to fly a gyroplane! An existing pilot with a minimum of a sport pilot rating may operate a gyroplane after obtaining a gyroplane endorsement on their existing pilot license. This will require training with a gyroplane CFI who will then give an endorsement that indicates that you have met the requirement. The next step will be for you to then train with a different CFI who will conduct a proficiency check based on the knowledge and proficiency requirements that the first CFI instructed you on.
Upon successful completion of this, a logbook endorsement will allow you to operate within this category as a Gyroplane ultralight Pilot. On average most pilots can complete this add-on training in 10 – 20 hours.
