About the Tecnam P92
Type certificated 1993
Overview
The Tecnam P92 Eaglet is a two-seat, high-wing Light Sport Aircraft and the founding design of the Italian manufacturer Tecnam, whose P92 first flew in 1993 and has run through several generations to the current metal-and-carbon Eaglet. In the United States it is sold as a Special Light-Sport Aircraft on the 100-horsepower Rotax 912 ULS, cruising around 116 knots on car gas at roughly four and a half gallons an hour, with a 1,320-pound gross weight and a 540-pound useful load. A high wing, a roomy cabin, and predictable manners have kept it a fixture in flight schools for three decades.
It sits at the value end of the modern high-wing trainer market, where buyers cross-shop it against Tecnam’s own composite-fuselage Tecnam P2008, the all-metal low-wing P2002 Sierra, and the discontinued Cessna 162 Skycatcher, and it is sport-pilot eligible under MOSAIC. An established, easy-to-fly high-wing two-seater, it brings Cessna-style sightlines and mogas economy to primary training and weekend flying.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Proven trainer. Three decades and several generations of P92 service have made it a known quantity for schools and a forgiving step-up for new owners.
- Mogas economy. The Rotax 912 ULS runs on car gas at about four and a half gallons an hour, holding the modeled direct operating cost near $34 an hour.
- High-wing visibility. The overhead wing and large windows give the Cessna-style downward view students and sightseers want.
- Metal-and-carbon airframe. A metal structure with carbon-fibre fuselage components in MkII trim balances durability with a lighter, smoother shell.
Trade-offs
- Two-seat payload. Like every LSA it is a full-fuel, two-adult aircraft; the 1,320-pound gross leaves little margin for baggage.
- Light wing loading. A light airframe rides rougher in turbulence than a heavier Part 23 trainer.
- Rotax transition. Pilots coming off Lycoming or Continental power must learn the liquid-cooled Rotax’s different starting and temperature management.
