PART 23
AIRPLANES
Most small aircraft are certified according to airworthiness standards laid out in Part 23 of the
federal aviation regulations.
Cirrus SR22
2001: The airplane with the parachute
The Cirrus SR22 is an evolution of the SR20, which is more commonly used for training but barely
missed this list with an entry into service in 1999. With a revolutionary whole-airframe parachute,
all composite construction, and glass cockpit digital instrumentation, the SR line took the general
aviation world by storm. A luxury aesthetic and commitment to passenger comfort helped elevate
the SR22 to the world's best-selling single-engine piston aircraft for two decades running.
Diamond DA42
2004 (Europe); 2005 (United States): Twin with a glider heritage
Like the two-seat DA20 and four-seat DA40 before it, the Diamond DA42 has a composite
airframe, bubble canopy, control sticks, and T-tail, features suggestive of the manufacturer's
origins producing motorgliders. Also called the Twin Star, the DA42 is powered by two
168-horsepower diesel engines produced by sister company Austro Engines, so it runs on jet
fuel instead of avgas.
Tecnam P2006T
2009 (Europe); 2010 (United States): Little twin, big aspirations
This twin trainer was one of the last designs of prolific aircraft designer and Tecnam Aircraft
founder Luigi Pascale. At a maximum takeoff weight of 2,712 pounds, it's lighter than other
twin-engine aircraft; the two 100-horsepower Rotax engines consume a combined 9 gallons per
hour of avgas or mogas, making the P2006T an efficient training option.
Tecnam P-Mentor
2022 (Europe); FAA certification pending
Tecnam's purpose-built trainer is equipped with an IFR panel, Rotax engine, and leather interior.
It also has a gear handle even though the airplane has fixed gear-that's so students can get
in the habit of raising and lowering the landing gear early on. Tecnam envisages pilots earning
all the certificates and ratings they'll need on the way to a career between the P-Mentor and
P2006T. Tecnam's four-seat P2010 and light sport P92, P2002, and P2008 all also may be used
in flight training and were introduced in the 2000s.
