There are no Vmin, Vs1 or Vno colour bands on a gyro’s ASI. Flying instructors like to teach by the numbers. It would however seem that this exercise is to costly and new pilots are tasked to carry out flying without proper preparation. I know that it is worthwhile for the instructor to fly with the new employee and conduct an area familiarization, when starting a tasking. If one looks at the incidents that has happened in the commercial application of gyros, I wonder if this could have been prevented with flying a similar sortie in the sim. It may therefor be worthwhile to start working towards such equipment. There are a few gyro instructors but not many have been exposed to higher licenses or simulators. It would also be worthwhile to place him in the sim and showing and teaching him to catch the nose on take off as well as directional control when the wheels leave the ground, and also showing the approach and flaring on landing. Would having a gyro simulator available not save some training time and the gyro itself and also expose a student to emergencies that he would only be told about. I have seen quite a lot of discussions around the training issue.
