CAPUA – Tecnam and Aerodynamics Academy have announced the purchase of fifteen (15) Tecnam P2008JC MkII by the flight school. Headquartered in Malaga, Spain, Aerodynamics Academy is a recognised Approved Training Organisation (ATO) and Flight Training Organisation (FTO) and is one of the fastest growing flight schools in Europe with 200 students in 2024.

The acquisition of the Tecnam P2008 JC aircraft enhances Aerodynamics Academy’s training capabilities and provides students with access to modern, efficient and reliable aircraft that meet industry standards. This move reinforces Aerodynamic Academy ’s position as a leading aviation training institution in Europe, providing students with world-class resources for their pilot training journey.

About the P2008JC MkII:

The versatility and ease of use of the Tecnam P2008JC has made it the aircraft of choice for modern flight training organisations worldwide.

With its carbon fibre fuselage, metal wings and tailplane, the Tecnam P2008JC has many advantages over traditional aircraft. This combination of composites and metal has resulted in a more fuel efficient and much quieter aircraft.

The Tecnam P2008JC MkII version features a number of significant enhancements. These include a new avionics suite, including a redesigned instrument panel and glare shield, allowing the introduction of Garmin’s innovative G3X Touch display with MD302 attitude instrument, also available in VFR Night.

“We are thrilled to have been selected by IAA for their next generation of training aircraft. The P2008 will deliver unprecedented economics to flight schools with its proven low-fuel consumption Rotax engine, next generation avionics suite, durable strategic combination of carbon fiber and metal, and U.S.-based AOG support,” said Shannon Yeager, Tecnam Director of Sales. “We look forward to supporting the IAA team and the entry into service of the P2008 with anticipated aircraft utilization exceeding 1,000 hours per year.”

“The analysis for our fleet renewal was no different from the analysis we have done as airline executives for Boeing and Airbus acquisitions – capital cost, maintenance cost projections, performance, fuel burn, manufacturer support, environmental compatibility, safety, reliability and customer acceptance. The Tecnam product line far exceeded the competition in this analysis and we are proud to be the U.S. 141 fleet launch customer for the P2008,” said Steven Markhoff, IAA President & CEO. “Our commitment to Tecnam is reflected in the arrangement that allows for additional models of Tecnam aircraft. IAA will soon become a Tecnam service center and a showcase for excellence.”
