This 2012 Tecnam P2006T Very Light Twin Is a Stable, Redundant ‘AircraftForSale’ Top Pick
Four-seater is ideal for training, building time, or personal use.
Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Tecnam’s P2006T is an unusual twin, using 100 hp Rotax engines more commonly found on light sport and experimental aircraft.
The aircraft is not designed for pilots who think of a second engine as a performance feature. This small, lightweight twin is aimed at flight schools and those in the personal-use market who seek the redundancy of two engines.
We have heard people describe the P2006T as flying like a Cessna 172 that happens to have an extra engine and retractable landing gear. While it is not especially fast by light twin standards, we would not call it slow either, especially given its modest power. It can carry four people and could make an ideal family airplane for many pilots.
This 2012 Tecnam P2006T has 2,430 hours on the airframe and 56 hours since overhaul on each of its 100 hp Rotax 912S engines. The engines have liquid-cooled cylinder heads and air-cooled cylinders, and together burn a total of nine gallons per hour.
The IFR panel features a Garmin GDU 1050 10-inch PFD and GDU 1054 10-inch MFD, Dual GEA 71B engine and airframe unit, dual GIA 63 GPS/nav/coms with localizer and glideslope, GMA 1360 audio panel, GMU 44 magnetometer, GRS 77 AHRS, GDC 74A air data computer, GTX 345R Mode S transponder with ADS-B In and Out, King N 63 DME, King KR 87 ADF, and S-Tec 55 autopilot.
Pilots who want to build multiengine time economically or simply prefer having two engines for safety and flexibility should consider this 2012 Tecnam P2006T, which is available for $499,900 on AircraftForSale.
