The Tecnam P92 is a family of two-seat, high-wing, light aircraft designed by Luigi Pascale and manufactured by Tecnam in Capua, Italy.
First introduced in 1993, the aircraft was developed for the ultralight category and has since evolved into one of Tecnam's most produced models, with over 2,500 units in service as 2018.
It has been widely used for recreational flying and primary flight training in Europe, North America, and other regions. Since its introduction in 1993, the P92 has been developed in multiple variants, including the Echo, Echo Super, JS, Eaglet, and others. The current production version is called P92 Echo MkII, and it was introduced in 2016.
Today, the P92 Echo MkII, features a strut-braced high wing, fixed tricycle landing gear, and side-by-side seating. Its airframe is primarily metal, with a composite (carbon‑fibre) fuselage, while earlier versions had all‑metal construction. It is powered by Rotax 912ULS series engines with 100 hp. The P92 Echo MkII has a published stall speed of approximately 39 knots (72 km/h) with full flaps, and a take-off distance of 1211ft (369 metres).
