Tecnam Flight Academy is proud to announce the addition of the new Tecnam P-Mentor to its training aircraft fleet. With this important addition, the flight school reinforces its commitment to training the next generation of pilots, with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and innovation.

The P-Mentor, Tecnam’s latest aircraft, represents the perfect blend of advanced technology and cost optimization, making it ideal for IFR training. This aircraft joins an already all-Tecnam fleet:

• 2x Tecnam P2008 JC
• 1x Tecnam P2006T (2006)
• 1x Tecnam P2010 TDI
• 1x Tecnam P-Mentor (new)

Additional aircraft will be added in the coming months to further modernize the fleet.

“I’m particularly proud of this synergy that combines our educational experience with Tecnam’s technological excellence. This enables us to offer our students top-tier training, aligned with the needs of modern airlines.” — Carolina Pascale Langer, Accountable Manager.

With a growing number of students, the Academy offers modular training programs from PPL to ATPL, ensuring a consistent and highly professional training experience, thanks to a modern fleet fully integrated with Tecnam technology.

The P-Mentor is a two-seat single-engine piston aircraft, fully IFR-compliant and certified under the latest CS-23 EASA and FAA standards, enabling PBN/RNAV/AFCS capabilities. Today’s flight schools can rely on a single platform to train students from their first flight through to the CPL-IR, featuring a variable-pitch propeller, simulated retractable landing gear, and UPRT.

The P-Mentor has been designed to offer the best human-machine interface, resulting in the most effective VFR/IFR training experience. Its large fuel tank allows flight schools to fly all day without refueling, increasing operational value. Low maintenance costs, low fuel consumption, and excellent value-for-money make the P-Mentor a unique and profitable asset for any modern flight school.

Capua, Italy / Warsaw, Poland. Tecnam, a global leader in aircraft manufacturing, and Evionica, a cutting-edge provider of aviation training technology, are proud to announce a strategic partnership focused on redefining digital flight training. The result of this collaboration is a fully integrated, next-generation Computer-Based Training (CBT) program for the Tecnam P-Mentor, tailored to meet the demands of modern flight schools and students worldwide.

More than a digital manual, this CBT represents a leap forward in how ground training can be delivered. Designed to support PPL, IR, and UPRT training within a single, adaptable platform, the P-Mentor CBT combines immersive graphics, operational accuracy, and user-focused design — all built on the backbone of Tecnam’s real-world aircraft data and decades of training heritage.

“From the outset of our collaboration with Tecnam, we shared a clear vision: to shape the future of aviation training through innovation and partnership,” said Mateusz Godun, CEO of Evionica. “The P-Mentor CBT is a tangible result of that vision — a product born from shared expertise, mutual respect, and a deep understanding of what modern flight schools need. With Tecnam’s aircraft insights and our digital learning design, we’ve created a training solution that is not only immersive and intuitive, but truly aligned with the demands of today’s pilot education.”

Evionica’s development team worked hand-in-hand with Tecnam engineers and pilots to ensure the CBT is not only technically precise but deeply informed by operational experience. From detailed system animations to scenario-based modules, every feature of the CBT reflects the real-world behavior of the P-Mentor and its role in contemporary aviation training environments.

“Tecnam’s commitment to training innovation made this collaboration incredibly effective,” Godun continued. “By combining our digital training expertise with Tecnam’s aircraft knowledge, we’ve created a CBT that proves how collaboration can deliver more meaningful, effective solutions than working in isolation. This approach not only strengthens our product offering but also encourages a more connected, inclusive future for aviation training.”

Walter Da Costa, Tecnam’s Chief Sales Officer, also shared his perspective on the project: “Evionica has brought an impressive level of professionalism and digital know-how to this collaboration. The P-Mentor is central to our vision of a comprehensive, modern flight training ecosystem — and now, thanks to this CBT, operators have a powerful tool to deliver theory and procedures in a format students understand. Together, we are shaping the standard for next-generation pilot training.”

The P-Mentor aircraft, already recognized for its versatility and training value, gains even more impact through this integrated training solution. The CBT enables ATOs and FTOs to streamline classroom instruction, reduce instructor workload, and offer students a more engaging, flexible, and interactive learning experience — anytime, anywhere.

We must never forget the roots of our story. The Professor and Mr. Nino were not just dreamers, they were pioneers, far ahead of their time. In post-war Italy, one ofthe most difficult periods in our nation’s history, they dared to imagine a future few could see. What began as a bold vision in a modest garage in Naples has since evolved into an internationally recognized powerhouse of aviation innovation.

From the very beginning, Tecnam has embodied what it means to be a step ahead. In a region where building something extraordinary takes tenacity and relentless energy, the Professor and Mr. Nino laid the groundwork for a company that would not just keep pace with the times, but set the pace.

Today, Tecnam is a shining example of how tradition and innovation can move forward hand in hand. We haven’t just adapted to chang, we’ve led it.

The drafting table made way for 2D blueprints, then 3D modeling. Lightweight carbon fiber replaced Dacron. Manual tools were upgraded to CNC machines and soon, robotic arms will enhance our processes further.
The analog cockpit was transformed into a digital hub, featuring touchscreens more advanced than those in modern fighter jets. Spartan interiors have evolved into refined, comfortable spaces outfitted with premium materials. We’ve never waited for the future, we’ve created it.

Now, as aviation stands on the cusp of a new technological era led by artificial intelligence, Tecnam continues to embrace innovation without losing sight of the core force that drives us: passion. AI may calculate, predict, and analyze, but it cannot dream. It cannot feel the excitement of flight or the pride of craftsmanship.

It is passion that drives our engineers to turn ideas into breakthroughs. It is passion that pushes us beyond the expected. And it is that same passion that turned a humble dream into a legacy of excellence that continues to lead the way. As we look forward, we do so not with fear, but with ambition. Innovation will continue to be our path. Passion will continue to be our compass.
