SEBRING, FL / CAPUA, ITALY — Monday, January 19, 2026 — Tecnam is proud to officially announce the launch of the P2006T NG (Next Generation) in the United States and Canada. The P2006T NG represents the latest evolution of Tecnam’s highly successful twin platform, building on the outstanding global track record of the P2006T MkII and the strong market reception of the P2006T NG, which is already in active delivery and operation across multiple international markets.
Over the years, the P2006T family has become one of the most trusted and widely used twin-engine aircraft worldwide, particularly within professional flight training organizations.

Designed for Modern Training and Ownership
The P2006T NG has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of today’s flight schools while offering an uncompromised experience for private owners:

A new pilot-side door increases ease of access for instructors and students, improving training efficiency and cockpit flow during high-tempo operations. - Advanced Avionics Suite
The cockpit features the Garmin G1000 NXi, including the GCU 477 FMS keyboard and GFC 700 digital autopilot, ensuring pilots train on avionics architectures fully aligned with modern airline and commercial aviation environments.
