Introduced in 2006, the Tecnam P2006T Twin has become a recognized option for flight training globally, serving prestigious institutions and private owners alike. Notably, the aircraft facilitates multiengine piston training at a noticeably lower cost compared to older twin-engine counterparts.

Bartolini Air managing director Bartlomiej Walas, expressed the historical significance. 

“If you are a passenger of Ryanair or another major European airline, it’s quite likely that your pilot made his or her first multiengine IFR flight in a shiny Tecnam P2006T at Bartolini Air,” said Walas.

Since the acquisition of the first P2006T in its fleet, Bartolini Air now operates 15 Tecnam aircraft, with an additional five scheduled to join in early 2024. The company said this expansion aims to meet the rising demand for comprehensive training programs, providing more than 12,000 flight training hours annually and producing pilots for leading global airlines.

Walter Da Costa, chief sales officer at Tecnam, attributed the success of the P2006T Twin to the company’s commitment to offering unparalleled value, low operating costs, innovative design, and distinctive Italian styling. Da Costa pointed out that the Rotax engines contribute to the aircraft’s environmental viability, delivering remarkable fuel savings and significantly lower noise emissions.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2022 Tecnam P2006T.

The Tecnam P2006T has carved out its own category as a very light twin that operates very much like a light single. Even its four-place cabin and 200 hp rating sound like the description of a single, however, in the Tecnam’s case the thrust is divided between two 100 hp Rotax engines. The aircraft does not possess the classic excess of power that many larger traditional twins, such as Cessna 310s and Beechcraft Baron 58s, enjoy.

While not a particularly brawny twin, the P2006T can climb with one engine shut down and offers pilots more options for flying at night and over water and  other inhospitable terrain. The design is also known for a spacious, comfortable cabin that works well for a traveling family. For flight schools, the Tecnam’s low fuel consumption and stability make it a good multiengine trainer.

This 2022 Tecnam P2006T has 103 hours on the airframe and 102 hours on its two Rotax 912 engines and two-blade, variable-pitch propellers since new. The panel includes s Garmin G1000 Nxi, dual GIA 64 WAAS nav/com/GPS, GMA1360 digital audio system, S-Tec 55 autopilot with electric trim, dual, GEA 71B engine and airframe unit, and GTX345R mode S transponder for ADS-B In and Out.

Pilots looking for a light, reliable, and economical four-plane traveling aircraft with the redundancy of two engines should consider this 2022 Tecnam P2006T, which is available for $709,000 on AircraftForSale.

You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Finance. For more information, email info@flyingfinance.com.
