Within the previous 90 days, at least 3 take-offs and landings must have been performed with a gyroplane in order to be allowed to take along a passenger
Exemptions for pilots with a valid license
For applicants with a valid license for private pilots, glider pilots or pilots of other powered aircraft with a registered passenger rating, the passenger rating for gyroplanes will be
registered with the license without further proof.
