I have a few hours in the P2006T. Honestly, it is probably my least favorite twin. It is easy to fly, stable, and safe, which makes it a great training platform. However, for me, it was uncomfortable. The low seats, with my feet cramped in the narrow space under the panel, were awful. Visibility was poor. I am 5 11' and had could not see our the side windows without significantly leaning down to look. And the checklist... man o man it takes forever to work your way through it. Burping the engines before checking the oil and all of the other little extra things really add up. Finally, in my opinion, the plane is very underpowered, especially for a twin. I am not saying there is not a place for this bird or that it is a bad aircraft, but it is not something I would own or want to spend much time in myself. The worst part about this plane is I am not sure it really prepares you to fly most other twins. If all you have flown is this guy, and you lose an engine in your C-310 or C-414, you could very quickly be overwhelmed and in trouble. It will get you the rating, but maybe not the best to really get you ready to fly twins.

Appreciate the frank feedback, Pete. I didn’t fly up front, but my dad did not the visibility challenge for his 6’3” frame. I’ll be exploring it for a future review in more depth, and will look out for those gripes. Thx.

excellent video , i’ve been doing a lot of research into the p2006 to own but the Technam dealer for Florida won’t schedule demo flights unfortunately which is odd especially for being the authorized dealer rep for the manufacturer . Awesome you got your hands on one .

Reach out to Cielo Blu to ask, they may be able to help link you with a dealer.

I hate the idea of burping a Rotax just to check the oil!

[@PersonalWings]

For the price savings, I'll take it.

[@scprivatepilot50B]

@@PersonalWings I respect that.
