Aircraft overview

The Tecnam P2006T is a four-seat, high-wing light twin built by Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam in Italy. The type first flew in 2007 and entered production in 2009, with certification under EASA CS-23 and subsequent FAA approval. It occupies a distinctive place in the used aircraft market because it offers multi-engine training and private touring capability with relatively low fuel burn, using two 100 hp Rotax engines rather than traditional larger displacement piston engines.

Performance & specifications

Typical cruise performance is about 145 knots, depending on weight, altitude and power setting. Published range is commonly quoted at around 650 nautical miles with reserves, making the aircraft suitable for regional travel as well as training operations. Maximum operating altitude is 14,000 feet. The Tecnam P2006T is powered by two Rotax 912 S3 four-cylinder engines, each rated at 100 hp, driving constant-speed propellers. Maximum takeoff weight is 2,712 lb, with useful load varying by equipment fit, commonly around the 900 to 1,000 lb range.

Cabin & avionics

The cabin seats four in a 2 plus 2 arrangement, with good outward visibility from the high-wing layout and a relatively simple, practical interior. The aircraft has retractable landing gear and is often used in flight schools for multi-engine instruction, instrument training and commercial pilot training. Avionics vary by year and operator. Many aircraft were delivered with Garmin-based glass cockpits, including the Garmin G950 integrated flight deck, while some examples may have more conventional instruments or later upgrades such as modern Garmin navigators, ADS-B equipment and digital engine monitoring.

Buying & value

Prospective buyers should review engine and gearbox maintenance history, propeller condition, landing gear inspections, corrosion prevention, avionics status and any history of intensive training use. The Rotax engines have different operating and maintenance considerations from Lycoming or Continental engines, so documented compliance with Tecnam and Rotax service instructions is important. Common points of comparison include avionics fit, remaining engine life, paint and interior condition, and whether the aircraft has been operated privately or by a school. On PlaneFox, current Tecnam P2006T listings average about EUR 427,000, with asking prices ranging from about EUR 308,000 to EUR 569,000, positioning it as a cost-conscious light twin rather than a high-performance cabin-class twin.
