Tecnam P2010 Prepping for U.S. Deliveries
The company expects the four-place single to receive FAA approval by this year's fourth quarter.

Tecnam director of sales Shannon Yeager flew the first U.S. production four-place P2010 single from the company’s Sebring, Fla. assembly facility to Oshkosh for EAA AirVenture 2015. While the P2010 is certified in Europe, the U.S. validation process is still under way, and Tecnam expects to receive FAA approval by year-end so U.S. deliveries can begin. Tecnam has already delivered 25 P2010s in Europe. The production line is already ramped up, and some slots could easily be diverted to U.S. customers, he said.
