| Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin achieves full FAA certification  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today issued type certificate number, A62CE, for the Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin, thereby enabling potential USA Tecnam customers to purchase and operate the world’s fastest selling twin aeroplane. “We see the Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin as a real game changer’’ said Phil Solomon, CEO of Tecnam North America. ‘’With eight dealers, and more to come, already in place throughout the USA , the achievement of full FAA certification allows us to deliver a twin aeroplane for the price of a single! Next stop, Canadian certification too’’ ‘’I am delighted that the FAA’s certification of the Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin results in this wonderful aeroplane now being available for sale through all our 50 worldwide distributors’’ said Paolo Pascale, Tecnam’s Managing Director. ‘’I am especially grateful to the Tecnam certification and production teams. It’s a remarkable achievement. We have already delivered over fifty P2006T Next-Generation twins and with over 100 more on order, we have now accelerated production to meet this unprecedented demand and we are now delivering a Tecnam P2006T every 5 days, establish Tecnam as the world’s Number 1 for light twin aeroplane deliveries’’. The Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin is in a class of its own, bringing affordable multi-engine flying to aero-clubs, flying schools, syndicates and private aeroplane owners. In addition, the P2006T has sparked significant interest on a larger scale for charter/air-taxi usage as well as a platform for surveillance and observation for government usage. The P2006T offers unbeatable value, coupled with low operating and ownership costs, innovative design and Italian styling. Tecnam’s partnership with Rotax and its '912S' engine (plus the option of a Garmin glass cockpit) allows the P2006T to lead with respect to the environment too. With both a remarkable fuel saving offering and much lower noise emissions, it promises to redefine both the flight training and aircraft ownership experience in one step. |
