2.1 OBJECT
This manual is intended to give all the necessary information, which the operator flying the M-24C
Plus gyroplane must comply with in order to ensure the safety and effective operation.
The instructions provide the pilot with a general knowledge of the gyroplane and of its features,
as well as with a specific knowledge of the normal and emergency operation procedures.
The manual is aimed at experienced pilots and is therefore devoid of any basic flight principles.
It does not replace a practical training course conducted by a QUALIFIED INSTRUCTOR.
Finally, the manual provides the pilot with the recommended procedures to deal with
circumstances such as emergencies, adverse meteorological conditions, etc.
2.2 PERMITTED OPERATIONS
The manual defines the allowed manoeuvres and operating limitations.
WARNING DANGER:
Unless otherwise specified, unusual manoeuvres, operations outside the defined parameters
and aircraft configurations outside the defined limits are strictly forbidden.
2.3 LAY-OUT
The manual is divided into 6 sections in order to be easier to read.
Each section is dedicated to a different subject related to flight operations.
2.4 CHECKLISTS
The manual contains various indexed procedures, which are described with the necessary
clarifications or definitions.
The checklist are published as indexed procedures and are not developed further.

2.8 GENERAL DATA
The M24C Plus is a single engine, two-seat gyroplane. Its primary structure is steel and the
fuselage is made from carbon fibre.
The airframe has three main sections:
− The forward fuselage
− The aft fuselage
− The tailplane
The forward section of the fuselage contains the pilot compartment and fuel tank. The two
seats are side-by-side in a staggered configuration to maximise comfort.
The gyroplane is equipped with a fixed, front tricycle landing gear.
The power unit is a piston engine in a pusher configuration driving a four-bladed propeller with
ground adjustable pitch.
The tailplane is made of composite material. The tailplane consists of a fixed horizontal
stabilizer with three vertical fins of which the central fin is subdivided into a fin and rudder.
The rotor, tailplane and main undercarriage are made of composite material.
The tailplane has a fixed horizontal stabilizer with three vertical fins of which the central fin is
subdivided into a fin and rudder.
There is a baggage compartment inside the cockpit, under the right seat cushion.
