Tecnam P2010 Validated In Australia And New Zealand

Approval Based On EASA Type Certificate

The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand have validated the Tecnam P2010 four-place airplane based on the EASA type certificate A.576, including the 215 hp version with a Lycoming IO390-C3B6 engine.

This news follows the establishment of a corporate presence in Australia last October to better serve the community of pilots and owners.

The P2010 is the first new single engine, high wing, four-seat aircraft from Tecnam that brings together an advanced technology all carbon fibre fuselage with a metal wing and stabilator.

The Lycoming IO390-C3B6 enables the P2010 to climb at 1,100 ft/m and cruise on 75% power at 146 kts. The IO-390-C3B6 provides 215 hp @ 2,700 rpm, coupled with a 3-bladed MT variable-pitch propeller.

The P2010 in its standard configuration is powered by the renowned 180 HP Lycoming IO-360 and has a high fuel capacity (240lt, 63.4 imp. gal). Of course, carbon fiber equals a lighter and therefore more fuel efficient and most economical aeroplane.

Tecnam is one of few OEM’s that are both able and capable to produce GA aircraft incorporating both metal and composite components. The state of the art Tecnam P2010 is now the most advanced and modern single engine trainer aircraft in the marketplace. Both versions, (180 hp and 215 hp), are equipped with Garmin’s innovative G1000 Nxi state-of-the-art avionics platform. The G1000 Nxi enables not only wireless cockpit connectivity but wireless database updates via Garmin Flight Stream resulting in enhanced situational awareness.

"The P2010 is the first modern high-wing trainer in Australia and New Zealand offering a significant advantage in sun protection and dry access to and from the cabin during adverse weather," said Paolo Pascale, Tecnam CEO. "Our newly established sales office and parts store on Queensland’s Gold Coast is part of our commitment and support for our CS23 training fleets and individual customers."

"We are looking forward to the P Twenty Ten entering the training fleets in Australia and New Zealand," said Bruce Stark, Tecnam PTY Ltd Director. "With 240 liters [of] fuel and the option of a larger engine and a VP prop, the P2010 is also the perfect aircraft for travel in the vast Australian outback."
