About this experience
We would say the Gyrocopter in Pamukkale is the safest attraction of all time. The new generation of professionally designed and constructed gyrocopters is inherently safer than fixed-wing and helicopter aircraft of similar size. Gyros cannot stall or spin and thus are inherently safer than fixed-wing aircraft. A gyrocopter cannot increase height during a hover like a helicopter therefore is not able to take off and land vertically but when it is in the air, the gyrocopter can hover This, together with a very short take-off and landing roll, make the Gyrocopter really easy to fly.
