Tecnam Twin’s Rochester familiarisation

At the request of Kelvin Carr, Rochester's Airport Manager, Tim Orchard gives an RFFS (Rescue and Fire Fighting Services) briefing to Kelvin's personnel.

Rochester

This was the first visit to Rochester by Airways Flying Club's Tecnam P2006T twin G-ZOOG and Kelvin was keen to make sure his ops team were up to speed on the new twin on the UK GA aviation block.

G-ZOOG performed a number of faultless demo flights for prospective customers, who specifically wanted to see the twin's performance from grass runways and also were keen for Tim to showcase both it s low noise emission (you couldn't hear the twin flying overhead at 2000 feet) and fuel consumption. G-ZOOG used just 19 litres on a half hour sortie flying at around 140 knots. That's 19 litres between the 2 Rotax engines, less than the local flying club's single engined Cessnas! Yes, they were very impressed.
