Some manufactures have concluded that aerobatics or the g-loads associated with aerobatic maneuvers will not appreciably harm or shorten the life of operating gyros’ so long as they are free or un-caged during these maneuvers. Locking the gyros in a caged position during these maneuvers may damage the spin bearings and/or gimbal bearings because of the large angular momentum of the spinning mass and the resulting quadrature forces. The best possible approach is to have the gyro free during aerobatic maneuvers and use caging to reset the gyros during straight and level flight when necessary.

Whether you are young or old and are a pilot living in the European continent you need to keep your piloting skills up to date and stay sharp with your skills. All pilots need to take enough practice time, they need to learn to stay focused and learn everything on the practice deck as it can be a very difficult and trying time, especially when so many lives are on the line. The general consensus is that after thousands of hours on a simulated flight deck or even in the actual flying of a plane one might have the ability to navigate any plane anytime.
