Tecnam P92 Echo

Single Piston

The Tecnam P92 Echo is an Italian-designed high-wing ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft that has become one of Europe's most popular two-seat trainers since its introduction in the mid-1990s. Built by Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam near Naples, the P92 family evolved from earlier Partenavia designs and features all-metal construction, side-by-side seating, and docile handling characteristics that make it ideal for ab-initio flight training and recreational flying. The Echo variant, with its 100-horsepower Rotax 912ULS engine, cruises comfortably at 100 knots while burning just 4-5 gallons per hour, offering an economical platform for flight schools across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Its stall speed of 37 knots in landing configuration and benign spin characteristics have made it a favorite for pilots transitioning from ultralights to more capable aircraft. The P92's wide cabin, excellent visibility through its bubble canopy, and rugged landing gear suited to grass strips have also earned it a following among bush pilots and glider tow operators.
