2022 Tecnam P-Mentor I-PDVM

IFR-ready, flight school proven, U.S.-importable

This 2022 Tecnam P-Mentor represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern, IFR-capable two-seat trainer that is already proven in real-world flight school operations. Currently based in Slovenia, the aircraft can be imported to the United States and is well suited for Part 61 or Part 141 training environments seeking a next-generation replacement for legacy trainers.

The aircraft is a one-owner example that has been hangared since new and carefully operated. It was manufactured in 2022 and first registered in March 2023. Total time is 769 hours, with just 160 hours on the Rotax 912 engine, reflecting light engine utilization relative to airframe time.

Designed specifically as a modern training platform, the P-Mentor combines low operating costs with a fully integrated Garmin glass cockpit and a certified IFR avionics suite. The aircraft is IR certified and equipped for RNAV operations, making it suitable for instrument training, advanced syllabus work, and cross-country operations.

Avionics include a Garmin G3X glass cockpit with RNAV capability, a Garmin GTN 650Xi COM/NAV/GPS, and a full Garmin GFC 500 two-axis autopilot system with GMC 507 controller. Additional equipment includes a Garmin GTX 345R transponder, BendixKing DME and ADF systems, and supporting antennas and adapters, creating a complete and capable IFR training platform rather than a minimally equipped VFR trainer.

As an added benefit, the aircraft comes with a trailer equipped with a 400-liter fuel tank, included with the sale. This is a valuable operational advantage for flight schools or operators managing fuel logistics or operating from locations with limited fuel availability.

The Tecnam P-Mentor was developed to meet the needs of modern flight training, emphasizing durability, efficiency, and avionics commonality with today’s training pipelines. For schools or operators looking to expand or modernize their fleet with a contemporary, IFR-capable trainer that can be imported into the U.S., this aircraft is a compelling option.
