Tecnam Aircraft welcomes a new design to its stable: The Tecnam P-Mentor acquired its European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) type certificate on April 7. According to the company, the low-wing, glass cockpit design was created to take learners from their first flight up through their instrument rating.
According to a company release, the aircraft’s name, “Mentor”—defined as “an experienced and trusted person you rely on to give you advice and guidance, especially in your career”—was chosen to emphasize the aircraft’s application in all levels of instructional flying.
