Polish training academy Smart Aviation and Tecnam have signed a purchase agreement for three Tecnam P2006T NG twin-engine aircraft, announced during the Middle East Aviation Career event.

The aircraft represent an additional purchase as part of Smart Aviation’s fleet expansion programme. They will be used for Private Pilot Licence (PPL) to Multi Crew Cooperation Course/Jet Orientation Course (MCC/JOC) modules.

Mateusz Dzialynski, CEO and Head of Training at Smart Aviation, said: “Our decision to invest in the latest Next Generation P2006T was based on the increasing demand for flight training in Europe and because it is one of the best trainers equipped with the most advanced avionics.”

The aircraft has been chosen for its smart features, such as two-axis autopilot and a Garmin avionics suite that offers VFR/VFR Night, MEP, IR, PBN (LNAV, VNAV, LPV). The P2006T is fitted with two Rotax 912iSc3 injected engines for fuel efficiency. It can be operated on AVGAS and MOGAS fuel, making it ideal for Multi-Engine, Variable Pitch and Retractable Landing Gear ratings.

“Smart Aviation is a clear example of Tecnam’s long-term commitment to innovating flight training. Our fleet solution is a market-leading offering that provides reliability, cost control, intelligent training and low emissions,” commented Walter Da Costa, Tecnam’s Chief Sales Officer.

Currently, Smart Aviation has a fleet of seven P2008-JC, four P2006T, one P2002-JF, one P2002-JR, and one P-Mentor.
