Tecnam P2008 Is One Of The Sexiest Sport Planes In The World

[@TechFreak51]

The fighter jet behind the fence looks AMAZING !!!!

[@ChristopherNips81]

I believe that is a T-38. The USAF uses them for jet training.

[@sevic3043]

Nice! Im doing my PPL right now on a P2008. The one i use only has the rotax 912, you really have to pay attention on the fuel weight when the instructor takes up the second seat. But the lessons are much more affordable than the alternatives in the school (C152, C172). And on top its super good looking.

[@oddgamer1459]

Nice ! Where abouts ?

[@toddb930]

That's a really nice looking aircraft Mike. I'm not familiar with Tecnam so I appreciate you taking the time to give us a look. Thanks a lot buddy!

[@RosarioPulvirenti71]

I just love Tecnam's it's such a fun aircraft to fly.

[@patrickbarry7474]

I saw you on cover of Wired magazine, awesome dude! Congrats.

[@todddembsky8321]

Beautiful aircraft. I am partial to high wings and this has the lineage of the early Cessna 140, 172 straight back, it is clean and slippery. Would like 200 lbs more useful load. Full tank, full seats is a nice way to fly. I am going to say it, this is a sexy looking rig for a high wing pilot.

[@mauriceevans6546]

The light sport rules are expected to change in the next year or so. The modernization act is expected to increase the weight limit, speed, constant speed prop and allow for four seaters to be used by light sport pilots. Still only one passenger though. Also remember that the tecnam does have higher weight for this aircraft, they had to lower the numbers on paper to get the plane in the light sport arena.

[@rexgialla1970]

This is the big brother of mine P92 Echo , Tecnam do very strong and easy to fly aircraft !

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

They make some fun airplanes and very good looking. Except that twin engine is a little different to look at. But I can imagine it’s top-quality just like the rest of their products I mean how cool is twin Rotaxes. A cool twin burning about 10 gallons an hour total is extremely efficient

[@josephb5989]

Anyone who's looking at this video right now (December 2022), this exact plane N432DT is for sale at this moment! I was looking up videos after seeing the listing and what a coincidence that the tail number in this video is the one in the listing I'm looking at lol

[@Georgemanolov1]

Nice video, as always ! Thanks for the info !

[@darekkrawczyk8745]

Hi, I am going to do PPL training and I have chosen a school that flies to Tecnam. Your film helped me a lot, also in English communication. Thank you.

[@dsrgarage]

A lot of people seem to confuse light sport aircraft and light sport pilot. A light sport pilot is restricted to light sport regulations. Like no IFR. No night flight. Speed limitations. Altitude limitations. A light sport aircraft is only limited by what it is outfitted with. If you have a light sport plane that is set up for IFR then you can fly IFR just the same as a GA aircraft with the same equipment. The only difference is since it is labeled as a light sport aircraft that enables somebody with a light sport license to now fly it. I personally fly a light sport but I do so with a current medical and private license. So my limitations are now set the same as they would be in a GA aircraft. Just wanted to point that out. Sometimes the way things get worded people get confused and think you can’t do certain things with a light sport plane even if you have a medical and fly as a private pilot or higher.

[@michaelz6870]

Great looking aircraft, seems well designed but sure as hell should be for $200K+ for new!

[@traptracksandbeats2715]

Beautiful plane

[@captain-Luca-is0hmz]

I'm fly in P92 P2000 this is amazing P2008 wowww

[@GlennWelman]

It is beautiful!!

[@ghostrider115]

This is almost the plane that I drew when I was in school

[@lcprivatepilot1969]

A beautiful 2-place! Would be even more awesome if had a dual side-stick or dual yoke option.

[@dannycnoble]

Great video. I am training in a 172. But in march k am going to tenerife on vacation. I am going to take a training flight over there and that school useses the tecnam 2008. I am 6ft 6 so i appreciate you showing the interior. I will fit just fine in the 2008. Again thanks for the great video.

[@marknisbet1990]

Mike they a great plane to fly plenty of room and very forgiving

[@dreammerchant4442]

Man when you say southern California makes Chicago seem like the tundra today..it been 24° all day.. Ok the plane is like a stream line vette of the skyss..very kool

[@stevebroomfield4000]

I’ve spent many hours flying in this model aeroplane for my Microlight Certificate. So whilst I agree that it is a pretty aeroplane, if you are 6’ or over the visibility out of the side windows is seriously compromised. I find myself staring at the door frame when flying it, I’ve checked with other guys and they have exactly the same problem with the Tecnam P2008.

[@andrewmorris3479]

Steve Broomfield Definitely beauty over function but it handles so well I can forgive that negative aspect.

[@stevebroomfield4000]

Andrew Morris I agree that it handles like a dream.

Do I need a PPl being this is a LSA?

[@andrewmorris3479]

No, Sport Pilot certificate at a minimum.

[@ccproperty1519]

Unfortunately there is zero head room. They should have made this a cantilever wing like their bravo. As is, in the p2008 I have to duck down to look out the side windows.

[@jasons44]

Nice

[@CJRomanes]

Dumb question. Can you build time towards your PPL or CPL on a light sport aircraft? Sorry I'm not that familiar with the US regulations. haha

[@mojogrip]

Not dumb. Yes you can

[@streptokokke1003]

The truth about the P2008: Two People, and you can fill the tank only 3/4, less with lugage. The manufactoring quality is extremly bad. After a few month for example most of the stitches in the stylish seats are gone, sticker fall off, levers stick. Under an OAT of 10 °C the heating system is to weak. If You are taller than 1,82 Meter, your Head will touch the ceiling. The seats are very thin upholstered, so after half an hour your butt hurts.

[@looseparts]

Thanks Mike - Another great video. I know you're Sling guy and I'm a fan. Sling LSA or Tecnam Astore. Two-place, low wing, sliding canopy, 5 gph. That's my deal. I've looked at all your vids and you cover them both... which one is Best? It looks like the build quality of the Astore is better, but is it? Do either of them have a deal-breaker for you? I'm short, I need to reach the rudder pedals *AND* see over the dash. Is one better for me in this regard? Thanks for all you do - it means a lot to us.

[@looseparts]

@@michaelspunich7273 The Aircraft Factory currently offers four designs, two of which are 2-place planes. Sling TSi, Sling 4, Sling 2 and the Sling LSA - www.airplanefactory.com/

[@andrewmorris3479]

looseparts I’d take the Astore personally. You just can’t beat the fit and finish and the handling qualities are wonderful as are the Sling’s. I’ve only flown the Sling 4 and TSi though.
