What a great small light twin design. I’ve always admired the twin Commander designs. This p2006tT is so well laid out and simplified and centrally balanced, landing gear looks strong and CG workable. If only Rotax could make a an engine to spin the other way to help with the critical engine out issue … this may be the perfect small twin.
@@bigmetalbirdsI can afford only pen. Have you got any idea for me? I have a supply of tree wood. Can you upload some V-wing glider planes which can be made using woods 🙂. I know I am too poor to even ask, but I just asked anyway 🙂
I did my multi engine on this and it was awesome. Petrol from your usual gas station, affordable per hour flight, very well equipped with glass panel and autopilot. The only downsides were purchase price and single engine cruise speed
This is interesting. I'm doing my training in a Piper Warrior, preparing for a check ride in a few months hopefully. I've been looking at different aircraft and never saw this!!! Thanks for the video!
Like many light twins: Looking at the performance data, it appears that any time it gets beyond SL ISA conditions, if an engine fails, the remaining one will just to take you to the scene of the accident. I'd probably halve my chances [or less] of an engine failure and get a proven single.
I don't know if it's an error or what but all the numbers cited here for automomy, useful load and range are way below what the company has in their website... for example, he says it has an autonomy of 1200km and the web site says it's 2000km, he says useful load of 200 and some kilos and the web site says 450k... I wonder what the difference is...
My son in law got his multi engine rating in one of these. He loved how it flew. Will there be any improvements to give it a higher cruise speed, maybe slightly larger engines?
Congrats to him! Yes, P2006T is indeed very popular among schools for multi engine license. But I doubt they will make a more "performance" version of it. In my opinion, they came in and got that part of the aviation market they were aiming to. The engines they've chosen are extremely light, making the empty mass one of the lowest in the sector. It all comes down to the preferences and needs, and of course, the budget, but i've heard good reviews of Beechcraft Baron G58, which is generally bigger and has better cruise alt and speed, and well, its Beechcraft, haha. There are a few good Seminole configurations and of course, if you willing to spend some extra, imo, Diamond D42 is the best. Their safety systems and "safety-focused" design, id pay extra for that.
@@bigmetalbirds That's where I'm going with the "more power, faster cruise". The school my SIL was at used Seminoles for ME instruction until the Tecnam came around. The Seminole (and Baron) both have a lot more power and significantly faster cruise, albeit at a much higher gph penalty. I can see the P2006T as ideal for multi instruction, but the private owner who goes from a single to a twin does it for faster cruise, usually. Unless Tecnam's end-game with the P2006T is for instruction, aren't they limiting their market for the plane, when you can buy a Seminole or Baron for less money?
From I heard, they actually position P2006T as a trainer and thats it. I don't think they are into conquering a wider market for now. In Europe they are much more popular than Piper, and also they've put a lot of $ into special modifications of P2006T for surveillance in the recent years, and have a few ongoing contracts. So, yeah, i don't work for Piper, but it seems like they are not diversifying a lot.
Better a late answer than never...You only need to manage throttle, propeller rpm, and carburetor heat (yellow). The Rotax engines have automatic mixture adjustment, so there is no mixture control required on the panel. Rotax employs constant depression carburetors, which is a type of variable-venturi carburetor. In essence the fuel/air ratio is adjusted automatically based on air pressure. The fuel jet opening is varied by a tapered needle that slides inside the fuel jet and is controlled by a vacuum operated piston.
Not so many offers, but some should be around 400k for 2014-2016 model. Why not order a ferry flight from EU, for example? Lots of great P2006T available in Europe.
my high school math teacher was a ww2 fighter pilot in the pacific. we asked him what his favorite plane was and he said p38 lightning.... why? two engines. gets you home.
Hi I am very fond of Gyrocopters as these are very safe even when engines fail because the auto rotating proppelors can sill land the aircraft very safely indeed. Please feature a few high quality and reputed Gyrovopters . Ideally I would Ike t buy a Gyticooter with twin engines , should accommodate 6 adults , have washroom / toilet , , have air-conditioning,,, have hoods for carrying my 5 adult Persian cats and have enough fuel to travel at leastc2500 kms in thankful . 😂
Half-million dollars or more? Nah. There are lots of other twins out there for a fraction of that price that are more likely candidates to be my first twin.
@@bigmetalbirds Hi Big Metal Birds, thanks for reviewing the P2006T. It's a nice airplane, but financially out of reach for most people. Airplanes are expensive, in general, but some are less expensive than others. Choosing a twin, or any airplane for that matter, is a very personal thing, and depends on what you can afford and what your mission is. Piper, Cessna, and Beechcraft have produced several excellent multi-engine piston aircraft throughout the course of several decades that can be bought for much less than $500k. They aren't brand new anymore, but they are still great airplanes. For example, Piper has the Seneca II, Twin-Comanche, Apache, Aztec, Chieftan, and Seminole. Cessna has the 310, 337, 340, 402, 414, and 421. Beechcraft has the BE50, 55, 60, 65, and 76. There are also Commanders, Aerostars, Partenavia P68s, and probably more aircraft that I can't think of right now. To be fair, you can probably find a used P2006T for less than $500k too. Don't get me wrong, there aren't any "cheap" options, they are all expensive to own and operate, but these are also all more affordable than the P2006T presented in this video.

The P68 Partenavia was a great aircraft. Two simple four cylinder Lycomings, great load carrying and simple to fly - also nice looking.

I think it's a brilliant design, even if it looks like the new USPS mail trucks with wings attached. 😁
Bro I cant even afford a new Corolla why is this recommended to me 💀
i've made a vid about some nice small planes that can be found for a price of corolla or even less :)
Does Toyota even make a Corolla anymore?
Yes @@christopherhand4836
Cessna 150 is less than a Corolla . Just saying lol

Wish you best of luck! You ll need a multi engine license for this plane tho, but its definitely a step up from piper, imo :)
The P2006T just got a 60kg MTOW / useful load increase which makes it even more attractive.
Agree with every God Damn word you said. Thank you. Son and grand son of a veteran...unable to serve. Did 20 years in state and local govt. God bless.
Hope you enjoyed this video! Let me know if you would love to see any other plane on our channel!
2:24 Deepest condolences for the PK-IFP crash today (May 19 2024) which killed 3 people (pilot, copilot, engineer)😢
Oh my god. May thay rest in piece.
I would love to have this as my personal plane.

Close both throttles and pick a field is the conclusion I am drawing here.
Can you have these built with the 915?
High wing designs give shade when stopping over at remote airstrips.
100 hp each. What is single engine performance like? Especially fully loaded with left engine out.
The last I heard, it was something like 200fpm climb on a single engine.

Will it fly on one engine?

Great video...thank you.....doescthis plane have Mixture controls..??? I didn't see any on the quadrant....
Better a late answer than never...You only need to manage throttle, propeller rpm, and carburetor heat (yellow). The Rotax engines have automatic mixture adjustment, so there is no mixture control required on the panel. Rotax employs constant depression carburetors, which is a type of variable-venturi carburetor. In essence the fuel/air ratio is adjusted automatically based on air pressure.
The fuel jet opening is varied by a tapered needle that slides inside the fuel jet and is controlled by a vacuum operated piston.
The major drawback to this design is the 4 Bing carburetors which eventually fail.
I wish the P2006T shipped with certified 912is engines.
916is
"Added peace of mind" and a multi-engine rating.

Чем хорош самолёт Текнам 2006? он пойдёт для путешествий?
What kind of price USA
Not so many offers, but some should be around 400k for 2014-2016 model. Why not order a ferry flight from EU, for example? Lots of great P2006T available in Europe.
$640,000 in US
The load capacity will not even cover three adults, need larger Rotax engine.
Gotta go convert some numbers. Be right back.
Give us more!!
More to come!!
my high school math teacher was a ww2 fighter pilot in the pacific. we asked him what his favorite plane was and he said p38 lightning.... why? two engines. gets you home.
Those were engines, not a lawn mower engines on that bird!

You would struggle to find four adults to weigh less than 280 kgs payload.
specially in the states.
@@waltonsimons9082😂
how much?
About $500k+
Take away the rudders and wings has the shape of a helicopter

This will be a fluffy flight haha
If it had two 916is…
In 2012 Tecnam crashed in Latvia near Riga. After that....Tecnam should not talk about safety.
Half-million dollars or more? Nah.
There are lots of other twins out there for a fraction of that price that are more likely candidates to be my first twin.
sure, would love to hear your options!

@@lowslow3612 wise words
Two engines... twice the maintenance, twice the fuel consumption, twice the number of things to go wrong.
How much cost?
For the price of this thing I could get a nice DA42 and have twice the airplane, I'll pass.
Saw one fold up one time not good
