Italian FTO Tecnam Academy Expands 2025 Fleet with P-Mentor

Capua, Italy– Tecnam Flight Academy is proud to announce the addition of the new Tecnam P-Mentor to its training aircraft fleet. The P-Mentor, Tecnam’s latest aircraft, represents the perfect blend of advanced technology and cost optimization, making it ideal for IFR training. This aircraft joins an already all-Tecnam fleet:

• 2x Tecnam P2008 JC
• 1x Tecnam P2006T (2006)
• 1x Tecnam P2010 TDI
• 1x Tecnam P-Mentor (new)

“I’m particularly proud of this synergy that combines our educational experience with Tecnam’s technological excellence. This enables us to offer our students top-tier training, aligned with the needs of modern airlines.”— Carolina Pascale Langer, Accountable Manager.

The P-Mentor is a two-seat single-engine piston aircraft, fully IFR-compliant and certified under the latest CS-23 EASA and FAA standards, enabling PBN/RNAV/AFCS capabilities. Today’s flight schools can rely on a single platform to train students from their first flight through to the CPL-IR, featuring a variable-pitch propeller, simulated retractable landing gear, and UPRT.

The introduction of the P-Mentor further strengthens the strategic partnership with Tecnam, delivering key advantages such as:

• Standardized and continuous training methodology
• Operational cost efficiency
• State-of-the-art avionics
• Direct manufacturer support
• Enhanced brand value
• Additional training for Tecnam customers (avionics, additional ratings)

Tradition, innovation, and vision — these are the driving forces taking Tecnam to new horizons. Based on recent data and industry benchmarks, Tecnam offers the world’s most environmentally friendly training fleet. Flight schools using Tecnam’s single- and twin-engine aircraft can save up to 10 tons of CO₂ emissions per student earning their Commercial Pilot License — a 60% reduction over 155 flight hours, including 30 in a twin-engine, compared to traditional fleets using older 100LL-fueled aircraft.
