By gyroplane with AeroDream

Appointment taken at 8am at the airport at the general aviation area to make the circuit “François”of 30 minutes. Very pro and attentive, Sophie – pilot since 2016- starts with a briefing of about ten minutes with the presentation of the aircraft and the safety instructions on the runway and in flight. She then equips me with a helmet with an intercom in order to be able to communicate during the flight, as well as a life jacket (eh yes, we will fly over the sea!). We settle on board, I fasten my belt and it is left! Attention if you take your telephone or your camera, think of taking a small pocket and of attaching it in the safety belt…

We taxi to the big runway at Lamentin International Airport, just like the big planes. You will hear the communications between the pilot and the control tower! After a few minutes of taxiing, engine full throttle, the rotor accelerates and we take off almost vertically. I can feel the air on my face because the aircraft has no windows. Finally this flying machine is hyper stable and safe, contrary to my apprehensions. Flying in a gyrocopter is smooth and pleasant. It’s crazy this feeling of flying, a little confusing all at first, but very quickly one has the sensation of flying like a bird in freedom. Nothing separates me from the landscapes that pass before my eyes, it’s fabulous!
