Description

Context The introductory gyrocopter flight takes place at the Casarrubios Airfield, located in the Madrid region. This airfield is dedicated to light aircraft and offers an ideal setting for panoramic flights. At typical altitudes of 300–500 meters, participants enjoy a distinctive aerial perspective of Madrid and its surrounding rural landscapes. Unlike enclosed helicopters, the gyrocopter’s open cockpit and distinctive rotor design provide a unique flying experience, combining freedom of movement with a direct connection to the sky.

The Experience After a 10-minute theoretical briefing on gyrocopter controls and safety procedures, you’ll prepare at the airfield in comfortable clothing and sunglasses. You’ll then take the pilot’s seat in the open cockpit and begin flying under the supervision of a certified instructor. During your 10- to 30-minute flight, you’ll perform gentle turns and basic maneuvers, feeling the wind and hearing the engine’s steady hum as you glide above fields, roads, and small villages. The scent of wild thyme drifts up from the terrain, and the panoramic views stretch across the A5 motorway and the open countryside.

For Whom This activity is suitable for adults over 18 with good physical fitness and no fear of flying, who are eager to experience piloting a light aircraft for the first time. It is not recommended for individuals with mobility limitations, severe vertigo, or those unable to safely operate flight controls under supervision.

Local Context Casarrubios Airfield lies on the outskirts of Madrid, serving as a key hub for light aviation in the region. The local community supports a strong tradition of flight, and the peaceful rural environment provides a calm contrast to the nearby urban energy. This blend of natural scenery and aviation technology creates a unique and immersive experience for visitors.
