The Academy has the use of 2 Tecnam P92JS and 3 Tecnam P2002JF aircraft.
Our Italian-designed two-seat Tecnam aircraft have a wide and comfortable cabin, superior handling characteristics, and operating costs that are far lower than similar training aircraft, especially thanks to the Rotax 912 engine.
The Tecnam P92JS is a high-wing, two-seat, single-engine aircraft equipped with tricycle landing gear.
The Tecnam P2002JF is a low-wing, two-seat, single-engine aircraft equipped with tricycle landing gear. The Academy operates F-HUBK, F-HUBM and SE-MGA, with SE-MGA being equipped with an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS). F-HUBK is also equipped for night rating instruction.
These aircraft have excellent forward visibility over the cowling, with in-flight adjustable seats that increase in height as they are moved forward. All Tecnam aircraft have dual control sticks with a curve at the base for ease of ingress and egress. The dual controls come standard with push-to-talk (PTT) and electric stabilator trim on the control stick, with a trim indicator on the instrument panel, as well as dual conventional rudder pedals and a steerable nose wheel.
The P92JS 9H-MSF is very well equipped with a Garmin GPSMAP 695, featuring a bright 7-inch diagonal high-definition, sunlight-readable display that introduces students and pilots to the latest navigation technology. These aircraft are used as ab initio trainers.
Both models of aircraft are available for hire.
These aircraft enable the Academy to continue offering some of the lowest rates for flight training and aircraft hire, particularly for hour builders.
