The fleet replacement will include four P-Mentor.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

CAPUA \u2013 Tecnam announced today that Zelf\u00a0Vliegen chose Tecnam\u2019s P-Mentor for its fleet renewal program. The aircraft will be used for both PPL \u2013 Private Pilot License \u2013 as well as the MPL \u2013 Multi Pilot License \u2013 courses.<\/p>\n

The characteristics of the P-Mentor meet the requirements of Transavia\u2019s Airline Pilot Program and the conditions that Zelf Vliegen sets for its ATO training rules. When renewing the fleet, the flight school takes continuity and sustainability into account, among other things. With a vision for the future, Zelf\u00a0Vliegen will gradually build a professional and universal fleet of modern aircraft.
\nThe prices of the current aircraft used for the Airline Pilot Program have risen so much compared to 2018 that they no longer fit their vision. In addition, the fact that the aviation sector has to meet sustainability objectives also played a role.<\/p>\n

The Tecnam fleet will be modern and affordable and contribute to lower CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions, which fits in with the overall vision of\u00a0Zelf\u00a0Vliegen.<\/p>\n

Tecnam Green Fleet<\/strong>. \u00a0Based on recent data and industry benchmarks, flight training schools operating Tecnam\u2019s single and twin-engine fleets can save as much as 10 tons of CO2\u00a0emissions for every single student graduating with a Commercial Pilot License \u2013 a 60% reduction compared to legacy fleets using Avgas 100LL fuel. (Based on 155 flight training hours, including 30 hours on the twin.)<\/p>\n
