Three Of 12 Of The Airplanes Ready For Club Use
Following its recent EASA certification, Tecnam has delivered the first three P2008JC CS/VLA single engine airplanes to launch customer Aero-Club Air France. Tecnam anticipates immediate delivery of further P2008JC’s to the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Switzerland, to customers who had already pre-ordered what the company expects will be yet another bestselling Tecnam airplane.
The Aeroclub Air France P2008JC CS/VLA VFR night-equipped airplanes will be used for initial training purposes.
With fuselage and vertical fin made of the latest technology carbon fiber prepeg, its metals wings and stabilator, the Tecnam P2008JC has a vast number of advantages over traditional aircraft. This combination of both composite material and metal has resulted in a more fuel efficient and much quieter aircraft.
The P2008JC CS/VLA is equipped with the Garmin G3X glass cockpit and full electronic flight display screens rather than the traditional knobs and dials seen on typical aircraft instrument panels. Its versatility and ease of use has established it as both the aircraft of choice for flight training organizations worldwide as well as recreational flyers.
Aero-Club Air France ordered 12 Tecnam P2008JC’s which will it aims to distribute among four of its affiliated groups:
- Aeroclub Air France Lognes
- Aéroclub Aéroport de Paris
- Aéroclub Marne la Vallée
- Aéroclub Air France Toulouse
“The Tecnam team and I are extremely proud that Aero-Club Air France selected the P2008JC CS/VLA to undertake their initial flight training activities said Paolo Pascale, Tecnam’s Managing Director. “With the P2008JC now fully EASA certified, we look forward to announcing further significant orders, particularly from Flight Training Organizations soon.”
