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.

The ‘FlyBy’, senior management team has extensive experience in airline management, training management and ab initio flight school leadership.

Alex ALVAREZ, FlyBy CEO, says: “We have chosen Tecnam for our fleet for its modern design and low operational costs. There is nothing comparable to the P2006T in the market. Its quality, capabilities and total cost of ownership: acquisition and operational cost, are second to none.

Walter DA COSTA, Chief Sales Officer: “We are pleased to support the growth of modern flight schools such as FlyBy. Commercial operators urgently need pilots trained on modern aircraft with glass cockpits and the latest instrumental procedures.”

The Tecnam fleet is perfect for the today modern school as their aircraft offer the best efficiency, performance and value while meeting the latest certification standards with a unique feature as ‘the greenest fleet on the market. Efficiency that also means very low CO₂ emissions. Recent study shows that flight schools operating with TECNAM single and twin-engine fleet can reduce emissions by up to 60%: 10 tons of CO₂ for each student by the time they receive their Commercial Pilot License
