The Tecnam P92 is a family of two-seat, high-wing , light aircraft designed by Luigi Pascale and manufactured by Tecnam in Capua , Italy .
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).
The P92 prototype conducted its maiden flight on 14 March 1993 in Capua and shortly after debuted at the Bassano del Grappa Air Show. The P92 progressively entered service with a wide range of flying clubs and pilot training institutions. Throughout its development, Tecnam released multiple versions, such as the P92-J, P92 Echo Super, P92 Eaglet, and P92 MkII, each incorporating gradual upgrades in avionics, aerodynamics, construction materials (including the introduction of composite fuselages), and cockpit ergonomics. As reported by aviation journalist Dan Johnson, by 2018 more than 2,500 units had been delivered globally, making the P92 Tecnam’s most produced aircraft to date.
The aircraft is powered by a 100 hp Rotax 912ULS four-stroke engine in tractor configuration, and is equipped with a fixed-pitch propeller. According to published specifications, the Echo MkII has a stall speed of approximately 39 knots (72 km/h) with full flaps and a take-off distance of 1,211 ft (369 m) under standard atmospheric conditions.
The P92 Echo MkII is available in different configurations to comply with both European ultralight regulations (MTOW 472.5 kg) and US light-sport aircraft (LSA) standards (MTOW up to 600 kg). It is included in the list of FAA-accepted Special Light-Sport Aircraft (S-LSA) and is certified under various national civil aviation authorities.
