FSTC EUROPE chose Tecnam as its main aircraft supplier and partner because Tecnam offers the most modern and efficient fleet solution for a modern flight school, covering all its needs.

The latest version of the P2006T, the P2006T NG (Next Generation), is one of the smartest twin-engine aircraft on the market. It offers unbeatable value and an innovative design, integrating all primary flight, navigation, communication and terrain data on two high-definition LCDs via a modern Garmin avionics suite.

The aircraft is also equipped with a two-axis autopilot for highly efficient MEP complex training.

Fitted with two Rotax 912iSc3 injected engines, the Tecnam P2006T exhibits remarkable fuel savings and can be operated using AVGAS or MOGAS, which leads to significant cost savings and offers the best training for multi-engine, variable pitch and retractable landing gear ratings. The advanced avionics system supports both VFR and IFR, Day and Night, MEP, IR and PBN (LNAV/VNAV and LPV).

JOSE SANCHEZ

“Outstanding human approach and adaptability, no going around the bushes.. and giving a very personalized plan according to the student needs. Professional and honest interaction that gives a sense of relieve. They have a full complete database with assertive schedules in which all the members of the team are updated, aware and involved in the student matters, their trainings and academic proceeds.
Very knowledgeable individual “MENTORS” specialized and actual active professionals with Airforce backgrounds in each and every subject that they are dictating, instead of multipurpose “instructors” which only know the basics of whatever they are instructing.
I have used services several times from other academies around the world and there was always a disapointment, but FSTC EUROPE is definitely outstanding by far. 1000% Recomended. Old aviation training must change! and schools keep training 1980’s style and equipment, but you are improving and achiving it with your modern academic approach and equipment. WELL DONE!”

AASNA HASTEER

Stylianos Stylianou

“Professional stuff focusing on discovering trainees miss understandings and help them clarify them.
The whole training session was detailed but on the spot of what a pilot needs to operate efficiently and safely.
Although I fly for a few years in corporate section, it was the first training with FSTC EUROPE and was by far the most efficient.”

Evan Tsiskakis

“Finished my EMB135/145 type rating at FSTC and could not have a better experience. Their professionalism, hard working personnel and great organisation should be noted! Finished my training on time without any delays.

So I’d like to thank the people at FSTC EUROPE who stood by me and struggled with me, so that I can witness my dream come true. Cheers to the memories made and to the brand new ambitions that will follow. Thank you!”
