Tecnam P-2002 Sierra
The Tecnam P2002 Sierra is a two-seat, low-wing, all-metal light aircraft built by the Italian manufacturer Tecnam primarily for the flight-training market, distinguished from Tecnam's high-wing P92 Echo by its low-wing, sliding-canopy layout that gives a wide field of view. Powered by a 100-horsepower Rotax 912S, it cruises around 110 knots on modest fuel burn, and the later Mk II version updated the airframe and avionics while keeping the same powerplant. Its aluminium structure and simple systems have made it a popular, economical trainer at flying schools across Europe.
