Tecnam delivers single P2006T MKII premium aircraft to iFly Academy.
The Tecnam P2006T is equipped with two Rotax 912S3 engines that exhibit considerable fuel savings.

iFly Academy’s decision to opt for this modern P2006T S/N 350 aircraft is aimed at the improvement of the academy’s MEP training and updating the twin-engine fleet.

Tecnam, an Italian aeronautics manufacturer has announced the delivery of a solo P2006T S/N 350 to iFly Academy in Merida, Mexico. iFly Academy’s decision to opt for this modern twin engine aircraft is aimed at the improvement of the MEP training and updating the academy’s twin fleet with the P2006T S/N 350 which according to Tecnam is the most efficient and versatile aircraft of its category for multi IFR training. The deal between iFly academy and TECNAM Aircraft will further continue to strengthen the relationship between the two companies. The deal will further expand the single and multi-engine fleet of iFly academy.

The Tecnam P2006T MkII is a twin-engine four-seat aircraft with the fully retractable landing gear. It offers unbeatable value and innovative design with a modern Garmin avionics suite, integrating all primary flight, navigation, communication and terrain data on two high-definition LCDs. The Tecnam P2006T is equipped with two Rotax 912S3 engines that exhibit considerable fuel saving and can be operated on AVGAS and MOGAS 95 octane fuel, leading to huge cost reductions.

The P2006T aircraft’s features like simplicity, great performance, efficiency and ergonomics are what make this aircraft ideal for multi-engine training, as well as cross-country flying. The aircraft is also equipped with an S-Tec 55x high-performance, two-axis autopilot, with advanced features.

“We are so delighted to have another Tecnam flying in Mexico. We see a great potential for aviation, and we are proud that flight students would benefit of a modern and smart aircraft” , says Walter Da Costa, Chief Sales Officer, Tecnam. 

Acquiring the P2006T will help iFly to offer more flight time and a quicker way to move through multi-engine ratings. The P2006T is ideal for flight training, as the aircraft has proved to be very convenient to fly, with the light to operate controls, and even with one inoperative engine, the pressure needed to cope with the asymmetric thrust is very low.

Julian Esquivel  Ceo and Founder, iFly commented, “We are proud of building from scratch a new relationship with TECNAM and we are even more proud of the hands and legacy that built our airplane. TECNAM is a beautiful Aviation Family and we are honoured to work with and connect Mexico to Italy in our industry”.
