Tecnam has announced that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has officially awarded Type Certification to the P2006T NG (Next Generation), representing a notable milestone that establishes a new benchmark in the twin-engine aircraft category.
Fifteen years after its initial debut, the P2006T continues to excel, consistently setting new standards in efficiency, technology, and performance. With hundreds of these aircraft operating worldwide and continuous enhancements driven by user feedback, the Next Gen P2006T is designed to surpass its already remarkable achievements.
Drawing from Tecnam’s extensive aviation legacy and years of engineering proficiency, the P2006T NG incorporates state-of-the-art innovations to cater to the needs of flight schools, private owners, and special mission operators.
The P2006T NG offers a higher Maximum Take-Off weight of 1290 kg compared to the P2006T MkII, allowing for a greater payload. With its fuel-injected Rotax 912iSc3 engines, the P2006T NG is the most fuel-efficient twin-engine aircraft globally. It uses only 14 litres per hour per engine, cutting CO₂ emissions by up to 45 metric tons annually—a significant advancement in eco-friendly aviation.
Operators of mixed fleets will benefit from the full interchangeability of engines and accessories between the P-Mentor and the P2006T NG, streamlining logistics and operational efficiency. Maintenance teams will appreciate the quick-release engine cowlings, ensuring effortless access to the powerplant bay for inspections and servicing.
The P2006T NG has a brand-new cockpit setup, complete with a central console that fits an FMS GCU477 keyboard, making it easy to manage and input everything for the Garmin G1000Nxi avionics. The fully digital, 3-axis GFC700 autopilot with ESP (Electronic Stability and Protection), along with the GI-275 backup instrument, boosts flight accuracy. Plus, the cool Garmin Flight Stream system keeps everything connected between your tablets, smartphones, and the plane.
Whether you're a flight instructor, a student, or a private aircraft owner with your family, the P2006T NG makes getting around easier than ever. With four separate doors—one for the pilot, one for the co-pilot or instructor, one for passengers, and one for luggage—it’s a breeze to hop in and out. This setup makes flying more fun, even if you have limited mobility.
The P2006T NG introduces a sleek new window design, providing improved visibility and a modernized appearance. Its fully LED winglet-integrated position and navigation lights enhance aerodynamics and visibility, while enhanced LED landing/taxi lights further improve safety in all conditions.
