Key Takeaways:
Tecnam has introduced the P2012 STOL, a unique piston twin aircraft designed for exceptional short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities.
Aimed at modernizing the underserved STOL market, the aircraft is built for operations in challenging and remote commercial airports globally.
It features single-pilot operation with advanced Garmin avionics, comfortable seating for nine passengers, and is now taking orders for 2024 deliveries.
“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.
