The story
The Italian P2006T is the lightest certified twin in production, powered by the same little Rotax engines that fly light sport aircraft. Flight schools adore it: multi-engine training with fuel bills that look like a single's, and it happily burns autogas.
Tecnam quotes about 3.7 gallons an hour per engine, so the whole twin burns less than many single-engine trainers.
