Our primary training aircraft fleet is the TECNAM P2002-JF model which are EASA certified under CS-VLA rules and is therefore fully approved for Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training in EASA Europe and the UK
The TECNAM P2002-JF fleet continue to grow and currently include:
EC-NZS + PH-EPT + F-HFGX + PH-IGY
All aircraft were bought new from the factory, the oldest being 2011, and have always been under Part-CAO / CAMO - Continuing Airworthiness Maintenance Organisation - with Airmotive Aviation Ltd, ITAER INGENIERIA SL, Madrid, and Efficient Flight, Reus. Aircraft continuous airworthiness and maintenance is now under EASA Part-CAO with Cycloon Holland and are impeccably maintained by Turmina General Aviation Maintenance. All ADs are complied with. The aircraft are in very good condition overall.
In 2016 the Argentine Air Force ordered the TECNAM P2002JF as its primary trainer, as did the (Greek) Hellenic Air Force in 2018.
With a modern design and low operational costs, the TECNAM P2002-JF is Fly EPT Spain's training aircraft of choice. Easy to fly and maintain, the P2002-JF is an excellent aeroplane for the training of ab-initio student pilots.
The Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM), sometimes referred to as the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH), has been prepared to provide pilots and instructors with information for the safe and efficient operation of this very light aeroplane. Pilots should familiarize themselves with the AFM, Pilot Checklist, Radio Calls for Son Bonet Airport, as well as the Local Flight Rules around Mallorca.

Weight & Loading
Note: To calculate weight of fuel / AVGAS / MOGAS ✈︎ 1 litre of AvGas / MoGas = 0.79 kg (density). Therefore, 100 litres (max fuel capacity) x 0.79 kg = 79 kgs
Powerplant
Fuel
Fuel indicator is calibrated as follows:
Indicator Fuel Quantity | Liters |
0 | 0.5 |
1/4 | 15 (+3 / -3) |
1/2 | 25 (+3 / -3) |
3/4 | 35 (+3 / -3) |
4/4 | 50 (+0 / -3) |
You must land at destination with NOT less than final reserve i.e. 45 minutes of fuel remaining i.e. a total of 13 liters (nearly 1/4 on the fuel indicator)
Fuel endurance = 100 litres (total fuel) - 13 litres (final reserve) = 87 litres (useable fuel) / 17 litres/hour (fuel consumption) = 5:06 hours (approximate) maximum fuel endurance
MOGAS can be found near Binissalem Aerodrome, at REPSOL and EROOSKI 24-hour gas stations. Check map here
The TECNAM P2002-JF has a ROTAX engine which accepts ordinary unleaded 95 MOGAS, and it is far cheaper to fill up with MoGAS using these 20-litre plastic jerry cans at the local petrol station than to fill up with leaded AVGAS which is more expensive. Budget conscious hour builders can refuel in this manner, and make some fuel savings.
OIL
The pilot is responsible for ensuring that the airplane is properly loaded. Refer to AFM Section 6, page 104+ for appropriate loading instructions
The TECNAM P2002-JF is a 2-seat, single engine, low wing aircraft developed for basic pilot training needs by Italian manufacturer Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam.
Powered by the popular ROTAX 912 engine and with avionics that incudes the GARMIN GMA430, the P2002-JF is one of the world’s most popular single engine trainer aeroplanes used by so many civilian and military flight schools.
The P2002-JF is certified according to the rules of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) under certification specification CS-VLA i.e. Very Light Aircraft, is approved for flight training for the Private Pilot Licence (PPL) and the aircraft is equipped with Night Visual Flight Rules (NVFR) instrumentation systems.
The sliding canopy allows 360° of vision in the cockpit and offers high forward visibility over the cowling.
The flight deck integrates dual control sticks with an electric stabiliser.
P2002-JF features a fuselage installed with a fixed tricycle landing gear including a steerable nose wheel and dual conventional rudder pedals.
With a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 620 kg, it can carry a useful load of 240 kg, while the luggage area behind the seats can hold 20 kg of baggage.
The cockpit/cabin can accommodate a pilot and a co-pilot in a side-by-side seating arrangement. The adjustable seats are equipped with seat belts and shoulder harness systems.
The cabin features wall-to-wall carpeting, Map E storage pockets, fire extinguisher, soundproofing, first aid kit, fresh air vents, a heating system and an emergency hammer.
The TECNAM is equipped with a wide, conventional-type analogue instrument panel integrating a standard Garmin avionics package. The avionics suite includes a GMA 340 audio panel, communications system, Mode S transponder, magnetic compass, airspeed indicator, altimeter, heading and attitude indicators, flaps indicator and engine instruments.
ASA AirClassics HS-1A flight headset can be purchased at the Fly EPT Spain office, Son Bonet Airport, Palma de Mallorca
The TECNAM accepts any twin plug headset, which are the most commonly used general aviation pilot headset, and have two (2) plugs at the end of the cable. The slightly larger one is for the headphone's audio while the smaller one is for the headset's microphone.
Two of the best and most popular aviation headsets for general aviation aircraft include the Bose A20 (which can also be used on Airbus A320 and Boeing B737), and the David Clark h10-13.4 Aviation Headset
The TECNAM P2002-JF is powered by a ROTAX 912 S2 four(4)-stroke engine driving a 2-bladed fixed-pitch propeller.
The engine has a rated power output of 98hp (73kW) and burns AVGAS and cheaper MOGAS (automotive fuel with up to 10% ethanol content i.e. ordinary unleaded petrol which you put in the car)
With the aircraft being based on the Spanish island of Mallorca, there is an element of some cross country flight over water to reach the neighbouring islands of Menorca, Ibiza and mainland Spain. With safety always on our mind first and foremost, we'd like to address a few important safety points.
Firstly, Fly EPT Spain's TECNAM P2002-JF aircraft continuous airworthiness and rigorous maintenance program is under EASA Part-CAO. Maintenance is never deferred. All ADD's are complied with. Routine maintenance is scheduled every 50 hours, with annual checks performed, practically speaking, every month. The engine / gearbox / propellor are replaced with new every 2,000 hours. Rest assured the entire fleet of aircraft have been impeccably maintained since purchased new.
While the risk of an engine failure is relatively low, risk can be further minimized by the pilot in command (PIC) ensuring the following safety checks:
The following survival equipment is generally left either on board the aircraft or in the Fly EPT Spain office. For flights over water, take them with you and check to ensure they are onboard the aircraft, and annotate the flight plan accordingly:-
- EMERGENCY RADIO
- SURVIVAL EQUIPMENT
