Tecnam P2002 JF
Tecnam P2002-JF
JF = certified version
Our primary training aircraft, the Tecnam P2002-JF, was bought new from the factory in 2011 and was previously under CAMO with Airmotive Aviation Ltd. Aircraft continuous airworthiness and maintenance is now under EASA Part-CAO with ITAER INGENIERIA SL, Madrid and impeccably maintained by Turmina General Aviation Maintenance. All ADs are complied with. The aircraft is 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.

MOGAS in Binissalem Aerodrome, Mallorca
MOGAS can be found near Binissalem Aerodrome, at REPSOL and EROOSKI 24-hour gas stations. Check map here
The Tecnam P2002 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 AVGAS which is more expensive. Budget conscious hour builders can refuel in this manner, and make some fuel savings.

On Board Survival Equipment
With the aircraft being based in Palma de Mallorca, Spain 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 points.
Firstly, Fly EPT Spain's Tecnam P2002 aircraft continuous airworthiness and maintenance program is under EASA Part-CAO. This aircraft has been impeccably maintained since purchased new. Maintenance is never deferred. All ADD's are complied with.
While the risk of an engine failure is relatively low, risk can be further minimized by the pilot in command ensuring the following safety checks.
- Before commencing flight over water, fill up the tanks with maximum fuel.
- Always check the fuel for water contamination before flight (let the tanks settle for 15 minutes before sumping them after adding fuel)
The following survival equipment is generally left onboard the aircraft (you must check before flight) and the flight plan annotated accordingly:-
- Emergency Radio
- ELT
- VHF (Hand held radio)
- Survival Equipment (Maritime)
- 2 x Life Jackets
- 2 x inflatable boats (each boat holds 86 kgs), paddles, pump
