TECNAM Australasia

ENGINES AND PROPELLERS

The Tecnam P2006T is equipped with two four-cylinder four-stroke Rotax 912S engines of 100hp (73kW) each. These are liquid cooled with an integrated reduction gear (1:2.4286) driving constant speed propellers with pitch feathering devices.

Engine mounts are made of high strength Cr-Mo Steel tubes with engine vibration isolators. Very easy and convenient access to the engine compartment allows for fast daily inspections. From an operational point of view, the following benefits of the Tecnam P2006T should be stressed:

* The option to use either automotive fuel or AVGAS allows operators to dramatically reduce the direct costs, making it possible to fly to locations where AVGAS is difficult to obtain or prohibitively expensive.
* The twin-engine configuration of the Tecnam P2006T is extremely dependable, enabling the aircraft to travel long over water distances or over rough terrain.
* The fuel system features two fuel tanks integral with the wings box for a total capacity of 200 liters.
* Each engine is equipped with a mechanically driven fuel pump and an electric backup pump.
* Tank selection and cross feeding are controlled by two valves positioned overhead.
