Ultimate Confidence: the latest avionics and the sporty design allow pilots to feel in complete control of their aircraft, making it fun and easy to manage. With an airframe Ballistic Recovery System and compliance with the latest CS/Part23 requirements for stall recovery, the P-Mentor is the safest two-seater on the market.

Green: With perfect integration of Rotax 912iSc, P-Mentor is the IFR trainer with the lowest fuel consumption and CO2 emissions currently available. Up to 60% reduction of emissions compared with IFR competitors! Long-range, full pax/full fuel and 14 L/H consumption, the P-Mentor represents the best deal for a FTO as well as for private owners.

Stylish: Modern interiors characterized by design seats, shaped stick, and superior visibility; the P-Mentor is comfort at its best. Italian design and sensual lines, the P-Mentor is the most attractive low-wing, two-seater in the marketplace for Flight Training and Personal Mobility.

Profitable: One platform can accompany students from their first flight up to Commercial Pilot License, stepping through Variable Pitch and (simulated) Retractable Landing Gear, up to their full instrument rating.  Low cost of maintenance, low fuel consumption, and a great value for money make this aircraft a unique money maker for any FTO. On the other hand, for a private owner that usually likes to fly alone or with another persons, represents the smartest deal on the market for a full IFR CS Part/23.

WINGS

The wing designed for Tecnam P-Mentor features a tapered planform with laminar flow airfoil and mixed structure: light alloy for spars and wing box, CFRP for the one-piece leading edge. The wing design allowed P-Mentor to pass the latest CS-23 amendment for low speed and stall characteristics without the need for a ballistic recovery system. The slotted flap extends for 75% of the wingspan and the aileron is built around a frise shape. Integral fuel tank is located behind the main spar, and it offers a remarkable 130lt volume.

FUSELAGE

The fuselage structure features a 4130-steel truss frame which envelopes the cabin area, providing optimal protection and energy absorption. A light alloy structure is the choice for the tailcone section.  To further reduce the aerodynamic drag, but still provide superior comfort for the occupants, we manufactured side fuselage skins in GFRP.

CABIN

The P-Mentor interiors offer unprecedented ergonomics and elegance, improving the roominess, cabin access, and acoustic comfort.  A wide sliding canopy configuration ensures easy cabin access and remarkable internal volumes. The cockpit panel and canopy ensure unquestionable improvement in terms of visibility, enhancing the occupants’ field of view. The aircraft can accommodate 2 occupants, side by side. A roomy baggage compartment is located behind the seats.

POWERPLANT

With a perfect integration of Rotax 012iSc, P-Mentor is the IFR trainer with the lowest fuel consumption and CO2 emissions currently available – up to 60% reduction of emissions compared with IFR competitors.

BRS SAFETY

Its design allowed P-Mentor to pass latest CS-23 amendment requirements for low speed and stall characteristics without ballistic recovery system being essential part of the aircraft configuration; however BRS is approved and available as an option for customers who require additional safety add-ons to be in a complete peace of mind.

AVIONICS

Integrates with other Garmin avionics, allowing control and display information such as traffic, weather, radios, audio and more.  Features built-in Connext wireless technology for flight plan transfer and more with selection of Garmin portables and mobile device apps such as Garmin Pilot.
