Probably also to do with new students transitioning onto more advanced American GA aircraft ... not having to get used to new rpm parameters. The new Tecnam light twin also has the same certified engines running MT hydraulic props, 140kts at MTOW, 110kts on one engine and climb 500 fpm at 80 kts. I hear first one sold in Oz to a central Qld cattleman.

I'm REALLY hanging out to see how the twin model actually performs in the real world. I guess it would be conceivably possible to climb that weight with a 912 at full fine pitch in ideal conditions. Pity they are expensive, but with 912's up top running costs will be a fracti

According to the Tecnam Italy website, the Pascale brothers have been building aircraft for 50 years. The company 'Partenavia' was a joint venture with an Italian Govt parastatil.

A Google pulled up this Oz link to the twin:
Aircraft for Sale, Plane Sales, Planes for Sale – Aviation Advertiser ? – Online Magazine Tecnam’s P2006 twin – a sneak preview
Tecnam is a privately owned company and not linked to Vulcanair which seems to be associated with Alenia.

"well it's interesting to see how a statement about an aircraft down from basair turned into a technical discussion on parte's"
Thats nothing.....once heard a conversation about the innards that make up a starter motor turn into a discourse on how to best violate a mallard! Took about 3 minutes from memory!
Ah.......AFTS......thems were the days!
