Congratulations to Bryce for completing his training after only 20 hrs!

Super proud to say that our Gyrocopter community is about to gain a very talented young pilot.

In just 20 hrs and just over a week of training Bryce has achieved to go on his first solo flight.

It’s been such a pleasure teaching him!

We concluded his training today with a flight in the Cavalon and his smiles says it all

Congratulations to David on his first solo flight today in his MTO!

You’ve done brilliantly ;-))

Important information for all our student pilots.

With the beginning of the new year (22/23) we had some changes in our terms & conditions in regards to leasing our aircraft for solo-training flights. Please make sure that you read and understand our T&Cs before you make any bookings for flight-training, which involve solo flights and aircraft hire. Thanks.

Thank you for choosing Byron Bay Gyrocopters

Finally, the big day has come for Nataliya. After waiting patiently for the right weather conditions, she could complete her last solo flight successfully today and is now officially a certified gyro pilot. Congratulation Nat, it’s been a great privilege training such a young and gifted airwoman like you. I am sure there is a bright pilot career ahead of you.

(short time after her final training flight in the MTO, we asked already to check out our Cavalon and took it on a spin around Cape Byron Lighthouse. That’s the spirit!!!)
