The Two Seat Platform will revolutionize the world of instrumental flight training.<\/h3>\n

CAPUA \u2013 Tecnam announced today that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded full Type Certificate to the P-MENTOR with the number\u00a0A00067IB<\/strong>\u00a0for Part 23 of the FAA Regulations.<\/p>\n

Tecnam is now on track to begin deliveries to flight schools across the United States, starting with the first (20) to HCH Aviation in partnership with Stephen F.

About the P-Mentor<\/strong><\/p>\n

The P-Mentor is a two-seat aircraft, powered by the Rotax 912isC3, featuring the Garmin G3X IFR touch screen suite with PBN\/RNAV\/AFCS capabilities, compliant with the latest CS-23 EASA & FAA amendments. The Mentor is a turnkey solution for many flight schools to train students from their first flight up to their CPL-IR on a single platform. With a variable pitch propeller, a simulated retractable landing gear and an optional ballistic parachute, the P-Mentor has everything flight schools are looking for in today\u2019s market. The P-Mentor is designed to offer the best human-machine interface, resulting in the most effective and efficient VFR\/IFR training. The generous fuel capacity will allow flight schools to fly all day without refueling, which improves operational value. The P-Mentor\u2019s fuel consumption is just 3.70 US Gal\/h (14 lt\/h) contributing to a very low cost of operations averaging $65 per hour.<\/p>\n

The P-Mentor allows complete PPL, IR and UPRT training, with approved PBN\/RNAV as well as AFCS: the entire training syllabus with unprecedented fuel consumption and emissions, further enhancing the renowned profitability of Tecnam-made fleet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The entry into service of the P-MENTOR two-seater IFR training aircraft has been eagerly awaited by a large number of flight schools who have been demanding a replacement for the many hundreds of \u201clegacy\u201d FAR23\/CS23 IFR training aircraft currently in service around the world. This aircraft will open up many profitable opportunities within the flight training market and revolutionize the training paradigm.<\/p>\n

With the P-Mentor, Tecnam is once again confirming its leadership in flight training while innovating the market and raising the standards. This important certification milestone will create and secure new and significant revenue streams for Tecnam, built on a foundation of over 75 years of aircraft manufacturing.<\/p>\n

To date, more than a hundred P-Mentors have been delivered in (18) countries around the world, proving that this platform fits different business plans in different weather environments. Flight schools are changing the composition of their fleet, using the P-Mentor for initial and IFR training and the P2006T for multi-engine training.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tecnam\u2019s Managing Director, Giovanni Pascale Langer\u00a0<\/strong>says:\u00a0\u201cThe FAA certification of the P-MENTOR is another significant milestone for the Tecnam team. We look forward to working with all US flight schools to improve the quality of training and help them keep hourly rates low.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Tecnam fleet is perfect\u00a0for the today modern school as their aircraft offer the best efficiency, performance and value while meeting the latest certification standards with a unique feature as \u2018the greenest fleet on the market. Efficiency that also means very low CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions. Recent study shows that flight schools operating with TECNAM single and twin-engine fleet can reduce emissions by up to 60%: 10 tons of CO2<\/sub>\u00a0for each student by the time they receive their Commercial Pilot License (www.Tecnam.com\/soar-greener<\/a>).<\/p>\n
