    Hello from the U.S.

    Punta Cana airport looks lovely.

    I’d like to fly a MT-03 gyrocopter over the beaches and resort areas of the Dominican Republic. Are there certain airfields I cannot use?

    • admin

      There are some small robinsons flying tourists in the Bavaro / Punta Cana area in a regular schedule. But I suggest you confirm with the IDAC Civil Aviation Authority, http://www.idac.gov.do. so you find out any regulations regarding this matter.

      Hello Lucas

      There was a Gyrocopter flying in the DR in the past years, but sadly it was lost in an accident.

      Also there are several Ultralights and an Active Parasailing club.
