Tecnam -- P2008
The latest from top producer, Tecnam of Italy, is this super handsome P2008. First seen at the 2009 Aero show in Germany, Sebring 2010 was the coming-out party for the P2008 in the United States. In this new SLSA model, we see the marriage of Italy's all-metal skills to the composite capability of CAG, a Spanish company Tecnam bought to acquire their knowledge of such construction. And it worked! The smooth lines and Italian design make for one of the prettiest LSA in the fleet. |

Tecnam -- Bravo
Tecnam has no less than five SLSA models, the most of any producer, now that they added their handsome P2008 to the fleet. Bravo is their high wing cantilevered version and it's a favorite among many for its enormous view, a full 360 degrees of vision and no struts to block the scenery. Bravo flies with the usual Tecnam natural feel and cruises toward the upper end of the LSA spectrum. In this video we'll show you around inside and out. |

"Tecnam's All-Metal Italian Beauties"
by Dan Johnson.
Published in Light Sport and Ultralight Flying,
December, 2007.
Pilot Report begins: Announced in July '04, the Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) category is still relatively new, and has yet to celebrate its fourth birthday. But many of the airplanes getting all the attention today were not born in the last 3 1/2 years. Many have rather long histories, some in Europe's microlight category and others in countries that have applicable standards. Among the longest in production is the Tecnam family of airplanes. The central Italian company reports more than 2,000 of their light planes flying

"Tecnam Sierra -- The Italian Job"
by Dan Johnson.
Published in EAA Sport Pilot & Light Sport Aircraft Magazine,
January, 2007.
Pilot Report begins: Before Cessna announced its light-sport aircraft (LSA) prototype, the Wichita, Kansas-based aircraft manufacturer investigated the airplanes produced by Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam, aka Tecnam. Cessna's interest was likely stimulated by Tecnam's 50-year history of aircraft manufacturing. The company traces its roots to 1950 and the P48B Astore. You may also be familiar with its twin-engine Partenavia series of aircraft that emerged in the 1970s. The Pascale brothers founded Costruzioni Aeronautiche
