Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin achieves full Transport Canada validation.
Transport Canada today confirmed that the Tecnam P2006T twin is now fully validated, thereby enabling potential Canadian Tecnam customers to purchase and operate the world’s fastest selling light piston twin aircraft.
“The Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin has established itself as a real game changer’’ said Phil Solomon, CEO of Tecnam North America. ‘’We have a number of potential Canadian customers eagerly anticipating Transport Canada’s certification of the Tecnam Twin, so we expect to announce our first orders very soon.’’
‘’I am delighted that Transport Canada certification of the Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin results in this wonderful aircraft 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 delivered nearly 100 Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twins and with many more on order, we have now accelerated production to meet this unprecedented demand, resulting in our delivering a Tecnam P2006T every 5 days, firmly establishing Tecnam as the world’s Number 1 for light twin aircraft 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 aircraft 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.
