![]() We all think it is very safe but make sure if you get into them do so with your eyes wide open and you will be fine. What I am trying to say is that they are potentially one of the safest aircraft but the safety record suggest otherwise. ![]() ![]() Also there is plenty of information on the various design faults and fixes for the older types still flying that have been upgraded. There are well documented failures in gyro design and training that have contributed heavily to the poor safety record and modern gyros have evolved into safe aircraft. However Gyro flying can be just as safe as PPC if the pilot recognizes the risk factors involved and gets good training. Gyros on the other hand have the worst safety record. From what I have been told PPCs in general and some specific models in particular (one make I know has never had a fatality in twenty plus years it has been in production and there are hundreds flying) have enviable safety record compared to the rest of aviation.
