Very enjoyable autogyro flight, could not do the Dover flight due to air restriction caused by Drones being operated in that area. W down by the Isle of Sheppey followed the river Medway and towards Whitstable before turning back to the air field. I was not disappointed at all and enjoyed all the sights pointed out by Kai who very informative.

What an excellent hour of autogyro flight. Theory fully explained, kitted out with helmet headphones, gloves etc. Flight took us over Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and back over the downs. Once we turned for home, after some instruction, I was handed the controls until just before we were overhead Rochester airfield. What an exhilarating experience on a clear day with visibility above 50 miles. Pilot was chatty, explained everything and answered many questions. Intercom was clear. A flight I will never forget

Excellent flight. First time in a Gyroplane and it couldnt have gone better. Well looked after by the Pilot, Kai, who had good knowledge of the landmarks and put me at total ease so I could enjoy the magnificent scenery. Highlight of the trip was hovering near to a colony of seals basking on a distant sandbank. Couldnt have asked for more and would recommend both the activity and Kai to anyone who wants a fun experience they will always remember.

After having participated in a number of upintheair experiences, ranging from hotair ballooning through gliding and flying a Cesna by way of microlighting both weightshift and 3axis, I would say that this topped them all.

Reviewed by: Dean Gray
Kai was an excellent, charming, knowledgeable and personable gentleman who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. He was keen to share his experience and enthusiasm for Autogyros and answered every question I asked, clearly and concisely. As a beginner I was grateful that we took a gentle flight and I was pleased to note that Kai paid attention to my comfort and enjoyment throughout the experience. I would certainly recommend him as an instructor should you wish to obtain your own licence. On a slightly unhappy note, I would have been grateful if the air traffic controller had proactively explained to me the rules to flyers whom are new to aviation, are obliged to respect when visiting their airport rather than complaining retrospectiely as this would have been a far more polite and effective means of addressing the issue. It should be obvious to him that new visitors to the airport would be interested in investigating the facilities and observing the planes as, this interest is what would have prompted many of them to book in the first place I would certainly rebook with Kai, thanks for a great day.
