Center Air Pilot Academy further innovates fleet with Tecnam

During the EATS Tecnam and Center Air Pilot Academy announced the purchase agreement for 2 additional Tecnam P2006T NG twin engine aircraft for its fleet expansion programme. The aircraft will be used for PPL - Private Pilot Licence - up to MCC/JOC - Multi Crew Cooperation Course/Jet Orientation Course, modules for ATPL courses. Today the Danish academy operates 7 Tecnam aircraft, five P-Mentor and two P2006T MkII.

Simon Frost, Center Air Pilot Academy Co. Owner and CTKI commented: “The introduction of these two new Tecnam P2006T Next Generation aircraft will enable us to provide our ATP Integrated students with the highest standards of training. The P2006T NG and the P-Mentor, the most innovative training aircraft on the market, with their low fuel consumption, will help us significantly in reducing our total carbon dioxide emissions compared to our current fleet and comparable aircraft. With this fleet renewal, our flight training continues to evolve and creates the best possible environment for our students to commence world-class training and become commercial airline pilots.” 

Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer stated: “Since the launch of the P-Mentor, we were confident that our partnership with the Frost family and the Center Air Pilot Academy team would be a successful one. Our goal is to elevate flight training to a new standard of excellence. Our fleet solution is a market-leading offering that provides reliability, cost control, intelligent training, and low emissions. In partnership with Center Air Pilot Academy, we are proud to be at the innovative forefront of flight training.”  

Center Air Pilot Academy, which was the launch customer for the P-Mentor, chose Tecnam as its main aircraft supplier and partner because Tecnam today offers the most modern and efficient fleet solution, from single engine two-seaters for ab-initio to twin engine aircraft for multi-engine piston and complex ratings, covering all the needs of a modern flight school. The two new P2006T will innovate the Center Air fleet, standardize the fleet and increase the capacity of the Academy, especially since last October the Center Air Pilot Academy, together with Scandinavian Airlines, launched an MPL program to train the next generation of Scandinavian pilots!

The P2006T NG, Next Generation is the latest version of the P2006T, one of the smartest twin engine aircraft on the market today, offering 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 aircraft is also equipped with two-axis autopilot, for the most efficient MEP complex training.

Fitted with two Rotax 912iSc3 injected engines, the Tecnam P2006T exhibits remarkable fuel savings and can be operated on AVGAS and MOGAS fuel, leading to huge cost savings, offering the best training for Multi Engine, Variable Pitch and Retractable Landing Gear ratings. The advanced avionic system offers VFR/ VFR Night, MEP, IR, PBN (LNAV, VNAV, LPV).

Tradition, innovation and vision. These factors are taking Tecnam to new horizons. Based on recent data and industry benchmarks, Tecnam offers the greenest training fleet in the world. Flight schools using Tecnam's single and twin engine fleet can save up to 10 tonnes of CO2 emissions for each student who completes a Commercial Pilot Licence - a 60% reduction compared to a fleet using 100LL fuel across 155 flight hours, including 30 hours in a twin. www.Tecnam.com/soar-greener
