Press releaseIssued by Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.p.A..

Tecnam will now begin immediate delivery of P2008JC's to the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland and Switzerland, who had already pre-ordered what will undoubtedly be yet another bestselling Tecnam aeroplane.

The single-engined Tecnam P2008's versatility and ease of use has established it as both the aircraft of choice for Flight Training Organisations worldwide as well as recreational flyers.

The Tecnam P2008JC is the best in its class, assuring pilots and passengers of a very comfortable environment and the smoothest of flight experiences.

A state-of-the-art Flight Trainer, the Tecnam P2008 JC is equipped with full electronic flight display screens rather than the traditional knobs and dials seen on typical aircraft instrument panels

With fuselage and vertical fin made of the latest technology carbon fiber prepeg, its metals 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.

One significant launch order for the Tecnam P2008JC is from Aero-Club Air France. Their first 12 Tecnam P2008JC's will be distributed amongst 5 of Aero-Club Air France's affiliated groups.

“It's been an extraordinarily successful and exciting time for the Tecnam design and flight-test teams” said Paolo Pascale, Tecnam's Managing Director. “I am especially proud of the efforts of the Tecnam technical team in particular who worked on the Tecnam P2008JC certification programme. May I also extend my personal thanks to our industry colleagues at EASA too”.

Pilots worldwide are choosing the P2008JC CS/VLA, Tecnam's most cost effective and environmentally friendly aircraft.
