Key Takeaways:
Tecnam introduced the P2012 STOL, a new piston twin aircraft designed for short takeoff and landing in challenging commercial airports.
This modern aircraft aims to fill an underserved market for STOL operations, offering impressive performance, nine-passenger comfort, and multi-mission versatility.
Priced at $2.75 million, it is equipped for single-pilot operations with advanced avionics, with orders now open and deliveries expected in 2024.
“Short takeoff and landing (STOL)” and “piston twin” are not phrases that usually go together unless you are talking about the P2012 STOL produced by Tecnam Aircraft.
The Italian manufacturer presented the new P2012 STOL during a press conference at the National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Orlando Wednesday.
