GyroCare Pro is a maintenance tracker and flight logbook built specifically for gyroplane owners and pilots. Know what is due, when it is due, and never lose track of a completed inspection again. FREE FOR 30 DAYS, THEN SIMPLE PRICING: GyroCare Pro is free to download and includes 30 days of free access with full access to every feature — no payment required up front. After the 30 days, continued use requires a subscription: Monthly — $2.99/month; Yearly — $29.99/year (best value). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. MAINTENANCE TRACKING: Track intervals across the airframe, engine and rotor system in one schedule. Every task shows its interval, when it was last done, and when it is next due — colour-coded so overdue items are impossible to miss. Log a completed task with the tach hours and date the work was actually done, and the next due point recalculates automatically. Completed work moves into a searchable history you can sort by date, hours, category or task name. SERVICE BULLETIN ALERTS: GyroCare Pro checks for Service Bulletins covering the airframe (AutoGyro), the power plant (Rotax) and approved equipment, and surfaces them right on your dashboard. DASHBOARD: One screen that answers the only question that matters before a flight: is anything due? LIVE WIND COMPASS: A live, rotating wind compass shows direction and speed relative to your heading, plus gusts, a 5-day trend, and density altitude for your exact location. FLIGHT LOGBOOK: Record flights with GPS tracking, or enter them by hand. AIRCRAFT PROFILE: Store your registration, owner details, aircraft type, model, engine and rotor system. Built for every AutoGyro model — MTOsport, Calidus, Cavalon — and other gyroplanes too. BACKUP AND EXPORT: Save a full backup file, restore to a new device, export records, or produce a printable PDF. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS: No account. No password. No cloud. Everything is stored on your device. Subscription billing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. IMPORTANT: GyroCare Pro is a record-keeping and planning aid. It is not an approved maintenance record, not an airworthiness determination, and not an official weather briefing. Always work from current manufacturer documentation and obtain an approved weather briefing before flight. The pilot in command remains solely responsible for the airworthiness of the aircraft and the safe conduct of every flight. GyroCare Pro is an independent application, not affiliated with or endorsed by AutoGyro GmbH, BRP-Rotax, or any aviation authority.
