Italian manufacturer Tecnam has just made its first aircraft delivery of 2016. It’s a two-seat Astore light sport aircraft and the customer is well-known to Tecnam for demanding the best they can produce…
… it’s none other than Paolo Pascale Langer, managing director of the company. Paolo’s aircraft is a special edition named the Tecnam Astore PPL (after Paolo’s initials).
The aircraft is painted in discreet military grey and among the special features are:
The Astore’s airframe is all metal with fairings and the upper radome in carbon/glass fibre. It’s powered by a Rotax engine, though Tecnam has not yet confirmed whether it’s the standard 912ULS, the turbocharged version, or the very latest 912iS.
Walter Da Costa, Tecnam’s Global Sales and Marketing Director, is pictured handing over the keys to Paolo (left).
