Built from scratch to replace the 172.
The Cessna 172 first flew in 1956. Aircraft design has come a long way since then. Most flight schools haven't.
Tecnam designed the P2010 to give schools a truly modern trainer with the same Lycoming IO-360 they know and their mechanics have been servicing for decades. New airframe, familiar engine, no friction.
Four seats. Glass panel. Three doors and a cargo door. 27% more cabin than a 172, 880 lb useful load, and the safety profile of a Part 23 Certified Modern aircraft. It's what the 172 might have become if Cessna ever bothered to innovate.
