With the Tecnam P2006T Twin firmly established as the first choice for many Flight Training Organisations (FTO’s) around the world, Tecnam are committed to ensuring that FTO’s are also able to offer their customers the most cost effective and the very latest flight simulation technology.
The MOU between Tecnam and Mechtronix establishes a framework for the development and the commercialization of a Tecnam P2006T FNPT II as well as a P2006T conversion kit for existing simulators. The new training platform will be marketed under P2006T Ascent® Flight Trainer™ and will comprise Garmin 1000 avionic suite and all instrumentation necessary for IR training; it will be designed to comply with JAR FSTD A FNPT II requirements.
“We are intrinsically committed to supporting our FTO customers in as many aspects of their commercial activities as possible’’ said Paolo Pascale, Tecnam’s Managing Director. ‘’We believe our co-operation with Mechtronix will benefit greatly the FTO community as we will providing both a cost effective and complete solution to meet flying schools training requirements with respect to both aircraft and simulators.”
“Working with one of the world’s largest General Aviation aircraft manufacturers is a real honor for all of us at Mechtronix and we look forward to cooperating with Tecnam’s team”, added Mechtronix Senior Director Strategy, Mark Dransfield. “Tecnam and Mechtronix share a common value based on levering cutting-edge technologies and expertise to provide customers with affordable solutions, not just products. Furthermore, existing and future Ascent® operators, considering the acquisition of Tecnam P2006T aircraft will be able to select this flight model from our extensive aircraft library.”
The Tecnam P2006T twin is in a class of its own, bringing affordable multi-engine flying to aero-clubs, flying schools, syndicates and private aeroplane owners around the world. The Tecnam P2006T twin offers unbeatable value, coupled with low operating and ownership costs, innovative design and Italian styling. Tecnam’s association with Rotax and its '912S' engine (plus the option of a Garmin glass cockpit) allows the Tecnam P2006T Twin to be environmentally-friendly. With both a remarkable fuel saving offering and much lower noise emissions, it is redefining both the flight training and aircraft ownership experience in one step.

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed
Both companies will become important industrial partners for next-generation Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) programmes
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Cassidian on behalf of EADS Deutschland GmbH and Alenia Aeronautica S.p.A. to jointly investigate the potential cooperation in the field of Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAV).
Alenia and Cassidian are aiming to strengthen their technological know-how in order to establish a leading role in the UAS market. Thanks to this agreement, the two companies will analyze the requirements expressed by each of their respective Governments in the UAS sector with the objective to create a strategic partnership and to expand their global UAS market share.
Giuseppe Giordo, CEO of Alenia Aeronautica and Alenia Aermacchi who is also responsible for Finmeccanica's Aeronautics Sector, commented: "The signing of this agreement is important for Alenia Aeronautica because it alllows us to collaborate with a capable player in the sector of UAS, favouring the growth of our ability to design, build, integrate and support a complex system for the global market, both civil and military. The UAS sector has a strategic importance for the future of Alenia Aeronautica's programmes and we are convinced that this agreement will allow us to become even more competitive in this quickly expanding market."
Bernhard Gerwert, Chief Operating Officer of Cassidian, said: "We look forward to investigate further collaboration with Alenia Aeronautica around a next-generation MALE UAS, like for instance, the Talarion which is of outmost importance for Europe's military aviation industry. It will fulfill government security missions and commercial applications which cannot be implemented with current solutions and their derivatives."
Talarion is the European programme for a next-generation Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) to fulfil the requirements initially placed by France, Germany and Spain for future unmanned long endurance surveillance and reconnaissance missions. First flight of the prototype is scheduled for 2015 with first series deliveries starting in 2018
