Today the<\/em>\u00a0French academy has a fleet of Tecnam aircraft<\/em>.<\/em><\/h3>\n

TOURS \u2013 FRANCE \u2013 The recent acquisition of 10 Tecnam P-Mentors completes Mermoz\u2019s fleet expansion programme. The aircraft will be used for both PPL (Private Pilot Licence) and MPL (Multi Pilot Licence) courses. One of the reasons for this choice, apart from the excellent fuel consumption, is the lowest CO2 emissions, making the P-Mentor the aircraft of choice for students and flight schools.<\/p>\n

Students at the Mermoz base in Tours are now happy to begin and complete their IFR training on a modern platform with digital screens and all the features of the large aircraft they will be working on. The academy, which has been operating in France since 2018, currently has 220 students and a fleet of ten (10) P-Mentor, five (5) P2006T twin-engine and four (4) P2010 single-engine four-seaters.<\/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

The\u00a0P-Mentor\u00a0<\/strong>is a two-seat single engine piston aircraft fully IFR \u2013 is compliant with the latest CS-23 EASA & FAA requirements, allowing PBN\/RNAV\/AFCS capabilities. The modern flight school have today one platform to train students from their first flight up to CPL- IR, including Variable Pitch Propeller, Simulated Retractable Landing Gear and UPRT.<\/p>\n

The P-Mentor is designed to offer the best human machine interface resulting in the most effective VFR\/IFR training while the generous fuel tank allows Flight Schools to fly all day long without refueling, no interruption is equal to improve operational value. Lowest cost of maintenance, lowest fuel consumption, and the greatest value for money, make this aircraft a unique profit opportunity for any Flight School.<\/p>\n
