DGCA Introduces New Training Syllabus for Gyroplane Pilot Licences in India
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has introduced a new Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) establishing the ground and flying training syllabus for obtaining a pilot licence for gyroplanes in India. Gyroplanes, which use an unpowered rotor for lift and an engine-driven propeller for thrust, are suited for activities like joyrides, agricultural spraying, and surveillance. This CAR marks an initial step toward enabling gyroplane operations, with future plans to develop training organizations and manufacturing capabilities.
