context_page_description: Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam is an Italian aeronautics manufacturer. It was founded in 1986. The company has two primary activities: producing aircraft components for various other manufacturers, and manufacturing its own range of light aircraft.
  The P present in its aircraft designations represents the Italian brothers Luigi Pascale and Giovanni Pascale, veteran aircraft designers and manufacturers who founded the company. Prior to creating Tecnam, they had been responsible for several other aviation-related activities, including the design and construction of the twin-engine Partenavia P.68. Their original intent in founding Tecnam was the production of aerospace parts on behalf of other manufacturers, which initially included American aerospace company Boeing and commuter airliner specialist ATR. When the Light Sport Aircraft market began to emerge, the brothers entered the field, first with the P92 Eaglet, which was well-received.
  Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam operates two separate production facilities in Italy; the Casoria facility is located adjacent to Naples Capodichino Airport. The Capua facility is located adjacent to the Oreste Salomone Airport.

During 2015, a sales and delivery complex was established in Sebring, Florida, United States, to support North American operators; a similar facility has been set up in Australia as well. At present, the company produces several LSA designs, as well as certificated aircraft. As of 2018, it has delivered 5,000 airplanes worldwide. It employs 250 people. The founding brothers have both died, but Luigi's nephew, Paolo, is CEO and his son, Giovanni is director of operations.
