Speaking as a Flight Instructor and charter pilot who has done about 20,000 landings, I also have about 1000 hrs on aircraft of the same size as the P2012, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the touchdown, the rollout down the runway or the turn off the runway onto the taxiway. It was completely normal.
Nice!!! I flew Cape Air onboard the Tecnam P2012 to St Louis and back out of Marion, IL! I loved the sounds and comfort on those aircrafts. Hearing about their issues and such made me question things about the airplane. Awesome trip report!!!
At 5:00 your flight was not "cleared for takeoff on the runway", you were "cleared to line up and wait"- - - - BIG DIFFERENCE. The takeoff clearance likely came at 05:47 with the release of the brakes (airplane/shadow begins to move) and the spool up of the engines at 5:52. Your flight touched down right at the "fixed distance marker" and that is 1,000' down from the end of the runway, which is EXACTLY where your flight should land-think bulls eye & textbook perfect! Judging from the lateral displacement from the runway centerline it looked like almost no deviation so I'm not sure what you were "feeling" but it looked like a perfect touchdown and roll out to me. These type of short haul commuter pilots get lots of practice doing takeoffs and landings. After a few short weeks or months on the job their skills (with few exceptions) are going to be razor sharp! Same thing goes for their instrument flying abilities i am not aware of any better way to develop excellent flying skills than flying single pilot multi-engine hard IFR in a scheduled commuter service. I've never had an issue flying with anybody's flying skills when that individual spent any time as a commuter pilot. In my opinion they are simply the "best" (for airline flying).
Normal textbook landing to me. He did great. Also, these newer Technams do not break down all the time. No idea where you are hearing that. Probably from Cessna stans. It was their old aging Cessnas breaking down, hence why they upgraded.
Pistons unfortunetly are loud by nature. For some reason 9K has an issue with filming during boarding. Jeb Brooks mentioned on a BOS-BHB leg recently that they did not allow the boarding process to be filmed.
They do NOT break down a lot. I don’t know where he got his information. There are a lot of software updates which can result in pulling them out of service for a few hours.
We fly these. They are in the hanger more than in the air. Oil consumption and leaks beyond ridiculous. We've stopped orders. Multiple aircraft with lycoming recommending engine replacement with less than 4k hrs on them is a HUGE problem
@@twisterzman sorry to hear that. So it’s not a airframe problem but a Lycoming issue? You an A&P? Obviously 4000 hours means bad QC and manufacturing. What’s the official TBO supposed to be?

Totally agree with you.
Could be a bit windy and since this plane is lighter then Boeing 737 - the author felt wind effects more pronounced :)
I didn’t see any indication of swerving in the video either. More likely some effect from light gusts
I agree 100%
I just have 2 things to say, it's spelt as Tecnam, not Technam. Secondly, it is a piston engine plane, not a turboprop.
"...and that's all I have to say about that."
Thanks, Forrest Gump.
Kidding aside, you're right.
@@pistonburner6448 yep....
You do

I’m going to be going on the Tecnam in just about a weeks time, quite excited for the flight

it is a piston powered a/c not a turboprop
CapeAir Tecnam P2012 Traveller Looks Kool I hope to fly on them anytime I visit the USA Like Boston Awesome Trip Report Video!!!!

I heard about it from a Cape Air employee who follows me on Instagram
LOL..take you down the back alley to get to the plane..Nice. No way would I ride commercial with only one pilot.
Sounds like a scary landing! And not nice off the ground crew worker when you step off tells you that you can’t use your camera
What was the reason for not allowing to film during boarding? It been filmed thousands times.
You don't normally think "sexy" when it's a small piston twin commuter airliner. But Tecnams have beautiful lines.
Is it profitable to fly small airplanes? (Only 8 seats) ..prices are competetive with other regional airlines deploying ATR for example?
theplanesguy, what small turboprop? It's not turboprop. It's twin piston...
Not a turnoprop as noted in the description
Looks nice, I fly for a company that is thinking about getting these

Why would they break down a lot? They have the tried and true Lycoming 540 engines and Garmin 1000 avionics.

@@michaelhandley5445 , we must have gotten all the "bad" ones then. Like every single one.

That is not a turbo prop, it has Lycoming 540 engines, piston engines similar to the Cessna 402’s
Good agent at BNA, horrible one at OWB.
คุณคิดว่าการบินคือการบ่งบอกสถานะความหรูหราทางสังคมมันใช่มันตอบโจทย์เฉพาะกลุ่มคนแต่บางคนต้องการการเดินทางที่ตรงเวลานัดหมายสำคัญกว่าเพราะฉะนั้นการบินก็ต้องมีความยืดหยุ่นตามจำนวนผู้โดยสาร
Powered by Lycoming piston engines, not turbo props!!
this is not a turbo prop. this is piston engine...
IT'S A PISTON! NOT A TURBOPROP!
The landing was good. Your views are not correct.You have to many expectations
