The Cavalon gyroplane has successfully gained its type approval from the CAA, meeting airworthiness requirements for gyroplanes set out under CAP643. This means that the aircraft is now fully-approved for UK flight. The first two aircraft left the RotorSport facility on 2 May, G-CIAT and G-CHWM, with ‘WM expected at the Popham Microlight Trade Fair on 4-5 May.
RotorSport UK MD, Gerry Speich explained, “This momentous occasion is the culmination of two years of hard work by my whole team both here and in Germany. It hasn’t been an easy path but ultimately, our faith and hard work have paid off despite the best efforts of the recent weather”
“Our world-wide partners will now be able to provide section T aircraft to their eagerly awaiting customers, a truly global success.”
The approval for Cavalon together, with the A8-21 company accreditation, effectively enables RSUK to co-ordinate their own projects.
Gerry added, “We’re really pleased with the initial reaction, ten sold before the approval issue tells it’s own story. We hope to see you at Popham this coming weekend”.
