First P2006T Light Twin sold in Australia

Central Queensland cattleman Steven Swan is the launch customer in Australia for TECNAM's amazing new Light Twin. A long time TECNAM RG owner Steven has built up a healthy respect for the dependability of the Rotax 100 horse power engines used by TECNAM.

The order was placed following extensive due diligence by Steven which included a visit to Italy to fly the twin at MTOW in high temperatures.

Steven's P2006T will be configured for IFR certification by installing the Garmin 950 glass cockpit with synthetic vision, S-TEC autopilot, ST-360 Flight Director and KCS55A HSI Slaved Compass System.
