Tecnam’s range goes from the latest generation of the Tecnam P92 600kg microlight to the best-selling P2002 and the P2006T Twin. The four-seater single-engine P2010 Twenty Ten is available with a choice of three poer units including a Continental diesel. All are equipped with Garmin avionics.
A first P2012 Traveller with an airline configuration, a single-engine four-seater P2010 TDI, and a two-seater P2008JC will be heading to London in the coming weeks as demonstrator aircraft for the British territories.
