Pacific States Aviation expands multi-engine fleet with new Tecnam P2006T MkII

Pacific States Aviation expanded its growing fleet with the addition of a new Tecnam P2006T MkII (Premium Edition). The acquisition, aimed at enhancing multi-engine training capacity in the greater Bay Area, was proudly facilitated by authorized Tecnam dealer Cutter Aviation and financed by strategic lease partner Nesher. This delivery marks the very first twin-engine aircraft to join PSA's expanding Tecnam fleet. The integration of the P2006T MkII provides students with a modern, exceptionally fuel-efficient twin-engine platform.

Offering highly reliable training operations, the aircraft features a state-of-the-art glass cockpit environment designed to closely resemble real-world commercial aviation, ensuring a seamless transition for future airline pilots. Dedicated to environmentally responsible flight operations, Pacific States Aviation found an ideal match in Tecnam's design philosophy. The P2006T MkII's outstanding fuel efficiency significantly lowers carbon emissions and noise pollution compared to legacy twin-engine trainers, allowing PSA to grow sustainably.

Rashid Yahya, Owner/President of Pacific States Aviation, Inc. commented: "At Pacific States Aviation, we are deeply committed to providing environmentally responsible flight training alongside top-tier instruction. The Tecnam P2006T MkII perfectly aligns with this mission. It offers our students a highly advanced, modern multi-engine platform while allowing us to significantly reduce our environmental footprint."

Patrick Cote, Regional Manager - Cutter Tecnam stated: "We look forward to building a strong, long-term partnership with Rashid and the team at Pacific States Aviation. We’re excited to support the continued growth of their multi-engine training program and are confident the Tecnam P2006T MkII will provide students with an exceptional training platform for years to come."

The successful delivery highlights the strength of Tecnam's network and partners. Cutter Aviation—a cornerstone of American aviation with 98 years in business—facilitated the partnership as they celebrate their successful first year as an authorized Tecnam dealer.

To support PSA's ambitious growth, customized financing was provided by Nesher, a company dedicated to facilitating fleet expansion for premier flight schools across the United States.

Reuven Hahn, Managing Member at Nesher said: "Nesher is excited to continue expanding our West Coast relationship with Tecnam and PSA. Nesher is proud to partner with PSA and support bringing a modern platform to their multi-engine curriculum."
