Tecnam P2006T

Tecnam · Italy · first flew 2007 · light aircraft

The Tecnam P2006T is a four-seat, high-wing twin-engine light aircraft powered by two Rotax 912 S engines, making it an economical multi-engine training and touring platform.

Recognition (WEFT)

W — Wings	High-mounted, straight
E — Engines	2 × piston, wing-mounted
F — Fuselage	8.7 m fuselage
T — Tail	Conventional

WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.

Spot it by:

high-wing four-seat twin with two Rotax 912 engines on the wing
T-shaped nacelles under the strut-braced high wing
large rectangular cabin windows and fixed tricycle undercarriage

The twin Rotax engines on a high strut-braced wing, four-seat enclosed cabin, and relatively small overall size distinguish the P2006T from conventional piston twins.

Specifications

The Tecnam P2006T has a length of 8.7 m (29 ft).
It has a wingspan of 11.4 m (37 ft).
Its maximum speed is 310 km/h (193 mph).
Typical crew: 1-4.

History

Tecnam first flew the P2006T in 2007 and gained EASA certification, making it the first new twin to achieve European type approval in many years. The choice of two Rotax 912 engines rather than traditional Lycomings gives it lower operating costs than conventional twins. It is widely used for multi-engine training across European flying schools.

Variants

The P2006T MkII introduced improved avionics and structural refinements; a floatplane conversion is available from specialist operators.

Where you'll see it

UK flying schools use the P2006T for multi-engine training; its EASA certification means it operates under standard CAA rules rather than the LAA permit system.
