The Tecnam P2010 is one of those airplanes that you can’t help but stop to look at when you see it on the ramp. Mainly because you’ll be wondering why that Cessna Skyhawk looks so good. Until you realize it’s not a Skyhawk. It’s something different. Something silky smooth. With flowing lines.
We Fly: Tecnam P2010
Key Takeaways:
- The Tecnam P2010 is a significant and visually appealing four-place single, notable as the first new high-wing aircraft to receive U.S. Part 23 certification in 47 years, built with modern composite and aluminum materials.
- It offers superior performance compared to older competitors like the Cessna Skyhawk, boasting nearly 140 ktas cruise speed, a 750 nm range, and a comfortable, spacious three-door cabin with advanced Garmin G1000 avionics.
- Priced at $345,000, it's competitive against current "legacy" aircraft, though it navigated a more expensive, older Part 23 certification process due to regulatory delays, positioning it uniquely against anticipated cheaper future models.
