Trailing-link landing gear makes for smooth landings and happy rear-seat passengers.

Though the passenger area is smaller than in typical multiengine airplanes, there is plenty of legroom for the nonflying occupants, since there are only two seats instead of the typical four in the aft cabin.

Ingress and egress for the rear part of the cabin is easy with the large aft cabin door. The airplane flown for this story was used for FAA certification, hence the experimental placard.

While the Tecnam Twin is made of aluminum, its fuselage is aerodynamically streamlined and the small engine cowls minimize drag.
