The Tecnam P2012 Traveller is a twin-engine, high-wing utility aircraft designed and manufactured by the Italian company Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam, based in Capua, Italy, near Naples. Certified under EASA CS-23 and FAA FAR Part 2, the aircraft is configured to carry up to nine passengers and one or two pilots, and is designed for commuter, charter, air taxi, cargo, medevac, and surveillance operations
Design and development
_(10-20-2022).jpg)
In 2009, Cape Air, a Massachusetts-based commuter airline operating in the Caribbean and New England, was looking for a successor for its fleet of 83 Cessna 402s. After being rebuffed by aircraft manufacturers Cessna and Piper, Cape Air approached Italian manufacturer Tecnam, specialised in trainers and private aircraft to develop a modern twin-engine commuter tailored to its operational needs. The P2012 is Tecnam's most complex and important programme, "the first time we've developed an aircraft from the operator's point of view".
Design and development
Background
The Traveller is a twin piston-engined aircraft, powered by a pair of Lycoming TEO540C1As, each producing 375 hp (280 kW), which give the type a maximum permissible speed (VNE) of 226 kn (419 km/h).In June 2023 the option of fitting twin 375 hp (280 kW) Continental GTSIO-520-S engines was added by Tecnam with a maximum permissible speed (VNE) of 228 kn (422 km/h). While the Lycoming engines use full authority digital engine control (FADEC) and a four-blade propeller, the Continental variant offers a more traditional throttle-propeller-mixture setup with three-blade propellers. The design complies with FAR Part 23 and EASA CS-23 regulations.
