Today’s Top Pick is a 2022 Tecnam P2012 Traveller.
When Tecnam introduced its P2012 piston twin, the modern utility design caused a sensation among charter operations, freight haulers, and small airlines. The new airplane offered features and a level of efficiency that would provide advantages for operators and their passengers.
Around the time of the aircraft’s introduction, regional airline Cape Air placed an order for 100 with a plan to replace its long-running fleet of Cessna 402 twins. The gradual transition has continued for years. With more of the Tecnam models appearing on the company’s familiar routes, mainly throughout New England and the Northeast.
For private pilots who would like to provide their families with the comfort of an airline flight when heading to distant vacation destinations, the Tecnam P2012 is a tempting alternative to other light twins with less interior space and pricier pressurized turboprops. With a variety of possible cabin configurations, the P2012 can adapt easily to the diverse needs of family and business travelers.
This 2022 Tecnam P2012 has 620 hours on its airframe and both of its Lycoming TEO-540-C1A engines. The aircraft, which is ready for Part-135 operations in addition to Part 91 general aviation missions, is equipped with TKS ice protection and is certified for flight into known icing conditions.
The versatile cabin is set up in a commuter configuration with seats for nine passengers and two pilots. Each seat features an outlet for fresh air and heat, reading light, USB port, cup holder, and armrest.
The panel features the Garmin G1000 NXi integrated flight deck with GFC 700 autopilot, weather radar, Stormscope, and angle of attack indicator.
Pilots seeking a modern utility aircraft with the flexibility to haul a sprawling family, business associates, or a large volume of gear, should consider this 2022 Tecnam P2012, which is available on AircraftForSale.
