Since the first P2006T arrived in the UK 14 months ago, it has featured in all the UK magazines (even L**P...) so there is plenty of 'air test' info out there written by different authors and pilots.

Some magazines have/had a policy of not air testing aircraft other magazines had covered hence, for instance, Pilot doing a piece on MEP 'revalidation' and the recent trip to Alderney.

The facts are that the aircraft really does what everyone says it will do - good short/rough field performance, 135 KIAS cruise at 38LPH total fuel burn and a climb on one engine at MAUW equal or bettering book figures.

If you don't believe the facts and figures then visit Tecnam UK at Wycombe Air Park and try it for yourself.

PS It does have rudder trim (electric)....
