Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has selected the <\/strong>Tecnam Aircraft P-92 MkII to fly in future flight competitions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

CAPUA \u2013 Chosen due to its wide variance of flight\u00a0capabilities \u2014 including speeds,\u00a0visibility, advanced avionics and innovative interior design, along with the low\u00a0operating cost \u2014 the Tecnam P-92 MkII will be piloted by the Eagles Flight Team,\u00a0representing Embry\u2011Riddle’s Daytona Beach Campus<\/a>. The Eagles Flight Team<\/a> competes at the annual National Intercollegiate Flying Association’s (NIFA) National and Regional Safety and Flight Evaluation Conferences (SAFECON).<\/p>\n

The aircraft will be used within the\u00a0competition to perform message drops, navigation, power-off landings, short-field landings and numerous other competitive events. The Eagles Flight Team boasts a long record of success<\/a> in Region IX flight competition.<\/p>\n

According to Ken Byrnes, Embry-Riddle\u2019s assistant dean and <\/strong>Flight<\/strong><\/a> chair<\/strong>,\u00a0“Our selection of the <\/em>Tecnam P-92<\/a><\/em> at Embry-Riddle reflects a step change in the continuation of providing safe, reliable and cost-efficient platforms for our Eagle\u2019s Flight Team to remain competitive in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“The P92 is a stable, solid and cost-effective platform that has proven to be the go-to aircraft for flight school programs around the world,\u201d <\/em>added David Copeland, director of sales at Tecnam US<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u00a0are excited to see the Eagles Flight Team piloting Tecnam\u2019s into the future.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The P92\u2019s short-field performance, excellent climb characteristics and efficiency are now teamed with the MkII\u2019s composite fuselage, granting improved cruise performances. The cabin volume has also been increased, allowing for wider seats, additional fore and aft adjustment and improved ergonomics. Advanced Garmin G3X touch avionics are available with synthetic view and ground proximity warning, providing additional navigation and situational awareness.<\/p>\n

Tradition, innovation and vision. These factors are spearheading Tecnam to wider horizons. Based on recent data and industry benchmarks, Tecnam is offering the greenest training fleet in the world. Flight schools operating Tecnam\u2019s single- and twin-engine fleet can save as much as 10 tonnes of CO2<\/sup> emissions for every single student graduating with a Commercial Pilot License \u2013 a 60% reduction compared to fleet using 100LL fuel on a journey of 155 flight hours, 30h of which on twin (www.Tecnam.com\/soar-greener<\/a>).<\/p>\n
