Near Venice, with her standard Gyroplane Magni M16 , Donatella takes off from Caposile airfield, for the flight that gives her several world records. With the altitude of 27,556 ft/8,399 m, Donatella Ricci is the new world altitude record holder with gyroplane, improving previous record by American pilot Andrew Keech, 2004.

The meticulous optimization of the unpressurized gyroplane standard equipment, her months-long preparation, and indeed an unusual sense of risk, made it possible for Donatella to reach a total of nine world records obtained in one single flight: November 8, 2015 as official performance readings validate.
