Tecnam P2006T Twin awarded type acceptance certificate by India's Director General of Civil Aviation

Tecnam today announced that India's Office of the Director General of Civil Aviation (India DGCA) has afforded type certification approval to the Tecnam P2006T Twin.

This significant milestone ensures that the Tecnam P2006T Twin is now able to operate in all key markets around the world, following on from EASA, FAA, Australian, New Zealand, Brazilian, Chinese and Russian certification.

Tecnam will deliver the first P2006T Twin to India this September.

"With India DGCA endorsement of the Tecnam P2006T Twin, all our over 60 global Tecnam Dealers are now enabled to offer for sale the world's best selling twin." Said Paolo Pascale, Tecnam's Managing Director. ''With over 100 P2006T Twins in service we have accelerated production to meet this unprecedented demand and we are now delivering a Tecnam P2006T every 5 days."

The Tecnam P2006T Next-Generation twin is in a class of its own, bringing affordable multi-engine flying to aero-clubs, flying schools, syndicates and private aeroplane owners. In addition, the P2006T has sparked significant interest on a larger scale for charter/air-taxi usage as well as a platform for surveillance and observation for government usage. The P2006T offers unbeatable value, coupled with low operating and ownership costs, innovative design and Italian styling. Tecnam's partnership with Rotax and its '912S' engine (plus the option of a Garmin glass cockpit) allows the P2006T to lead with respect to the environment too. With both a remarkable fuel saving offering and much lower noise emissions, it has redefined both the flight training and aircraft ownership experience in one step.
