Tecnam P2010 achieves EASA certification By Marino Boric

W

ednesday at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014, Italian manufacturer Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam announced European type certification for its four-seat piston single, the P2010. The company said it will begin delivering the new model to customers throughout Europe. The certification, under EASA CS 23, which is analogous to the FAA’s FAR Part 23, included more than 200 hours of test flights, more than 100 spin configurations, and lightning-strike tests on full-scale assemblies. Tecnam said FAA certification of the P2010 is being expected in three months. In April, Tecnam moved into its 21,000-square-foot facility in Sebring, Florida, and already has delivered several aircraft from that new facility. According to Tecnam USA Inc. Director of Sales Shannon Yeager, the company expects another 15 Tecnam aircraft will be delivered in next five weeks.

The Sebring facility is not only a showroom and delivery center for new Tecnam aircraft but is also an airframe maintenance and training center, as well as the parts warehouse for all North American Tecnam customers. According to Tecnam, the company now is able to respond to parts orders usually in the same day. For more information, visit Tecnam at booths 379-380 and 384-386 in the Main Aircraft Display area, or online at www.Tecnam.net.
