Capua, Italy – Tecnam is proud to announce the first delivery of its P2006T Next Generation (NG) aircraft to FlyBy Aviation Academy, one of Europe’s fastest-growing and most internationally diverse Approved Training Organizations (ATO), headquartered in Spain.

This milestone marks a new chapter in the ongoing collaboration between Tecnam and FlyBy, who now operate a fleet of 30 Tecnam aircraft. The addition of the P2006T NG, Tecnam’s modern twin-engine trainer, reflects FlyBy’s commitment to offering its cadets the latest in aviation training technology while ensuring ease of operation, high safety standards, and operational efficiency.

FlyBy, which was recently acquired by Sherpa Capital, a leading private equity firm in Iberia, is experiencing a new phase of growth. This growth is supported by an ambitious expansion plan that includes both internationalisation and inorganic growth, as well as the strengthening of its position as a leading training centre.

The P2006T NG is renowned for its modern design, fuel efficiency, and ease of flying, making it an ideal platform for Multi-Engine Piston (MEP) training. This aircraft aligns perfectly with FlyBy’s mission to deliver comprehensive, top-tier pilot instruction using state-of-the-art tools and techniques.

Pedro Carlos Pavesi, Director of FlyBy Aviation Academy, added:“Our goal is to provide our cadets with the very best training environment, and that starts with the aircraft they fly. The Tecnam P2006T NG offers exactly what we need: modern systems, reliability, and a platform that prepares students for the demands of airline operations. We are proud to continue expanding our Tecnam fleet as we grow our global training community.”

“The collaboration between Tecnam and FlyBy represents the perfect synergy between innovative aircraft manufacturing and excellence in pilot training,” said  Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer. “Together, we are shaping the future of aviation by equipping the next generation of pilots with state-of-the-art technology and world-class instruction.”

FlyBy Aviation Academy trains over 350 students annually from more than 117 countries, offering a truly global training environment. With the introduction of the P2006T NG, the academy continues to strengthen its position as a leader in European pilot training, combining exceptional instruction with industry-leading aircraft.

Tradition, innovation and vision. These factors are taking Tecnam to new horizons. Based on recent data and industry benchmarks, Tecnam offers the greenest training fleet in the world. Flight schools using Tecnam’s single and twin-engine fleet can save up to 10 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per CPL student – a 60% reduction compared to fleets running exclusively on 100LL fuel over 155 training hours, including 30 hours in a twin.

Pilots now benefit from an additional front door for the co-pilot and external access to the baggage compartment. Windows have also been redesigned and made larger to improve visibility.

The powerplant is now provided by twin fuel injected Rotax9121Sc3 engines, offering high altitude efficiency and reduced fuel consumption of 14 lt/hr (3.7 USG/h) per engine.

The wing position and anti-collision lights are integrated into the winglets and equipped with state-of-the-art LED technology. This not only enhances efficiency, style, and visibility but also offers a more eco-friendly and durable lighting solution.

The interior has also undergone major improvements, with a central console that houses the FMS GCU477 keyboard for efficient management of all Garmin avionics, including the GFC700 3-axis autopilot, and the G1000 NXi, which offers an intuitive pilot interface with total connectivity between the tablet and the cockpit with the innovative Garmin Flight Stream avionics system.

Tecnam also offers a super-premium version: the P2006 NG SPORT. This version features an all-Italian design, pure luxury on every flight: black leather dashboard with soft LED lights, carbon-look panels, yokes and central console covered in leather, every detail meticulously designed and handcrafted. The cabin features Alcantara headliners, plush moquette seats, leather side walls and side panels with carbon look logos.

With its carbon-fibre fuselage, metal wings and stabilator, the Tecnam P2008JC has a vast number of advantages over traditional aircraft. This combination of both composite material and metal has resulted in a more fuel-efficient and much quieter aircraft.

The Tecnam P2008JC MkII version features a number of significant enhancements. Among these are a new avionics suite, including a new design of both the dashboard and glare shield, thereby enabling the introduction of the Garmin’s innovative G3X Touch display with a MD302 attitude instrument, also available as VFR Night.
